Faridabad district has lowest pass percentage with 38.8%, whereas Mewat witnesses jump from 25% to 43%
Haryana recorded a dismal performance in Class 10 board examinations yet again, with more than 50 per cent unable to clear the examinations conducted by Board of School Education Haryana (BSEH).
The state, which had recorded the highest pass percentage in northern region, for Class 10th results declared by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) last year, has been witnessing dismal results in state-board examinations conducted by BSEH year after year. The pass percentage for Class 10 in the state has not gone above 50 per cent in last three years.
In 2015, only 41.28 per cent students in Class 10 passed the examinations while it was 48.88 per cent in 2016. This year, the pass percentage stood at 50.4 per cent. Faridabad district continued to remain at the bottom with the lowest pass percentage of 38.8 per cent. Mewat witnessed a major improvement from a pass percentage of 25 per cent in 2015 to 43 per cent in 2017.
In a major faux pas, the department had to withdraw the results declared initially, after it erred in releasing the names of the toppers. The rectified results were uploaded later in the evening. In the rectified results, Yudhvir from Rania in Sirsa was declared as the topper.
Out of total 3.15 lakh students who had appeared for the examinations, 1.39 lakh students could not pass the examinations and 16,738 will have to reappear in various subjects, with maximum in Mathematics and Sciences, followed by English.
Schools in rural areas performed better than those in urban areas recording a pass percentage of 52.58 per cent as compared to 48.3 per cent in urban areas. However, government schools lagged behind the private schools with only 43 per cent students passing the exam which was 15 per cent less than that of private schools. The pass percentage in private schools was 58 per cent. Girls were a step ahead than boys with a pass percentage of 55.3, while boys remained at 46.5 per cent. While, teachers rued the non-detention policy under Right to Education (RTE) Act for bringing complacency among students, the shortage of teachers remained another core issue flagged by the department despite rationalisation of teachers done last year.
