High pass percentage, marks in SSC exams not enough to ensure quality education, says official

Department of School Education Principal Secretary Praveen Prakash on May 19 (Sunday) said unlike in the past the performance of a school in the 10th class board examinations was gauged by the pass percentage or the highest marks obtained, these metrics are not enough now to ensure quality education.

In a statement, Mr. Praveen Prakash said there was a need to analyse the 10th class results with a new approach. The officials should use a new lens to review this academic year’s (2023-24) Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination results to ensure that all high school students achieve the desired results in the next academic year (2024-25).

Improving students’ employability hinges on enhancing quality at the individual level and the depth of knowledge of the students, he said.
