Education board swings into action after 900 schools record less than 30% results

Shubhlakshmi Shukla:

Committees comprising DEOs inspect schools to find out the exact reason behind poor performance.
For the first time, the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary School Education Board (GSHSEB) has initiated a third party inspection of its schools in every districts. The move comes after 900-odd granted secondary schools reported 0 to 30 per cent results in the recent board exams.
To ensure fairness, committees comprising district education officers are checking on the schools of other districts to find out the exact reason for their poor performance. The lack of infrastructure, bad teaching quality and economic background of the students are being seen as the possible reasons for the poor results. The committee will submit its report to the GSHSEB.
