A district-wise analysis of the board results revealed that several schools in the state failed to cross even the 35 per cent pass mark, with 18 institutions recording zero success in the examination.
“One school had 13 students, and not a single student passed,” said HBSE Chairman Dr Pawan Kumar, adding that in most of these zero-result schools, the number of examinees ranged from 1 to 2, with disappointing outcomes.
The board has recommended disciplinary action against teachers at these poorly performing schools and has also forwarded a detailed report to the Ministry of Education, underscoring the seriousness of the issue.
Dr Kumar emphasised the need for immediate intervention, including mandatory teacher training, student engagement programs, and direct interaction with parents to uncover the root causes of such dismal performance.
“Understanding the root of such poor performance is essential. Teachers must not only improve pedagogical methods but also reconnect with students and their challenges,” Dr Kumar was quoted as saying by TOI.
