Compared to the mid-term examinations conducted in September in schools last year, the Class Xth and XIIth students of Delhi Govt. Schools have shown massive improvement in pre-board examinations as announced by the DoE.

While the pass percentage of Class 10 rose to 48% from mid term’s 30%, 75.4% Class 12 students cleared the exams compared to 42.78% in the mid-term exams, the directorate said.

Sanjay Goel, the director, DoE, said “The schools had set relatively tough question papers with no choices. The students have performed well as compared to the mid-term exams. We are hoping to get better results in the board examination, especially by Class 10 students, this time.”

It was reported that after the mid-term results were announced in November last year, the DoE soon after that introduced remedial classes for weak students for improving school’s results. The heads of schools were asked to take “qualitative measures” to improve Class 10 board examination results. The heads were asked to analyze the mid-term exam answer scripts of science, mathematics and social science of selected government schools and identify the problems.

In order to improve the results this year, the teachers were asked to clear the concepts of the students through demonstration activities, encourage students to write while revising the subjects. The school heads were also made to attend classes where the results were “poorer”. “Number of collective measures was taken by the schools to improve the result. The district education officers also conducted surprise inspections in the schools and monitor the preparations,” Goel said.

Last year it was observed that only 31% of students passed class 10 pre-board examinations following which the DoE issued notices to 120 schools.
