India, Jharkhand's Deoghar district has a school where all its 147
students have failed in their secondary board examination.
The Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) announced the results of the
secondary board examinations on Tuesday. A total of 69.31 percent
students passed in the examination.
However, the students of the Kothia High School were in for a rude
shock as not one of them managed to pass the examination.
Angry, the students Wednesday demonstrated against the school
management and demanded a reason behind their poor show.
"It is shocking that we could not pass the board examination. I was
expecting more than 70 percent," said Ramesh, a school student.
The issue was brought to the attention of District Education Officer
(DEO) J. Pandit Thursday. He said the students failed due to a
technical fault.
"Principals of all the schools were asked to submit the marks of
practical papers to the JAC by May 12. The principal of the said
school failed to submit the marks on time. This is fault of the
school, and we will take suitable action against the principal,"
Pandit told the sources.
"We have submitted the practical marks to the JAC and requested them
to issue new results of the students based on the marks," he added.
A total of 354,802 students appeared in the secondary board
examination in the state. Palamau district topped with 80.76 percent
students passing the examination.
The 2011 results were discouraging in comparison to 2010 as a total of
74.37 students had passed out last year as compared to 69.31 percent
this year. IANS
