Plus II results: 15 schools with zero pass percentage showcaused by state govt
Bhubaneswar: A day after the publication of the higher secondary results, the school and mass education department on Thursday issued showcause notice to 15 schools that recorded nil results.
The government asked these institutes to explain why their temporary/permanent recognition should not be withdrawn.
The show-cause letter, sent to the principals of the schools by the directorate of higher secondary education, read, “You are requested to show cause as to why admission restrictions for the current year shall not be imposed and temporary/permanent recognition for science stream shall not be withdrawn within seven days.”
Last year, nine higher secondary schools had recorded nil results.
“The state government has taken the matter seriously and issued show-cause notice to the 15 higher secondary schools for their poor performance in the annual CHSE (Council of Higher Secondary Education) examination. After receiving their replies, we will study the reasons and help them improve,” said school and mass education minister Samir Ranjan Das.
To improve the higher secondary results, the state government had decided to conduct counselling of students after Class X and guide them to make better subject choices depending on their interests and learning ability.
The state government has imposed restriction on admission in nine higher secondary schools (junior colleges) that registered zero results during the Plus II examination in 2019.
