Speaking to Deccan Herald, DDPI Dayanand R Nayak said that the quality of results has improved compared to the previous academic year in spite of a slip in the position of the district.
Attributing the increase in pass percentage to teachers' commitment and hard work by the students, he said that teachers have been conducting special classes since the beginning of the academic year in working towards better results.
Workshops by subject experts were conducted in the district to help teachers understand their subjects in a better way. Nayak said that the preparations for next year’s SSLC exam will commence in June itself. “Headmasters/ headmistresses of schools that have secured 100 per cent results will be asked to share their good practices and the modalities that helped them attain good results. An action plan will be prepared based on the inputs received. The teachers from the schools that secured good results will be asked to guide those schools that failed to do so, to secure better results for the next year,” he said.
A total of 29,572 students, including 867 private candidates, had appeared for the SSLC exam in seven blocks in Dakshina Kannada.
