schools and tribal welfare schools have
secured good results in the SCC annual
examinations. She said that action would be
taken against the head maters of 20
government schools, which secured zero
result this year. She said that the
Government had decided to take steps to
provide basic facilities and infrastructure
at the Government schools. It would improve
the educational standards in government run
schools, she opined.
Managements of private schools should not
announce the ranks as the Government has
dispensed with the practice from 1997-98,
she said and added they also should not
issue advertisements comparing their results
and marks of the students with other
schools. Stern action would be taken against
the schools, which violated the rules, she
warned.
Stating that marks were not the measure to
the skills of the students, she advised the
failed students and who did not get good
marks not to lose self-confidence and try to
perform better in the supplementary and
improvement exams.
She also advised the parents of the failed
students not to bring pressure on their
children as it would lead to mental trauma.
