A COMPREHENSIVE meeting with all principals will be held to review the Class X and Class XII board exam results, Education Secretary, Chandigarh Administration, said. Teachers with the highest number of students in the compartment or failed category will be required to attend the meeting and present an explanation.

In a meeting on Friday, Prerna Puri, Education Secretary, Chandigarh Administration, highlighted the robust infrastructure and the presence of a well-qualified teaching community in government schools. In light of these strengths, she pointed out, there should be no reason for students to fail or be placed in the compartment category in the board exam results.

“Every principal and teacher will be held accountable for lapses, and at the same time, due credit will be given to teachers and principals whose students excel and perform well,” Puri said in a statement.

The Annual Confidential Reports (ACRs) of teachers will now include evaluations of student performance for accountability.

Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs) will be held on May 17 for parents of students who have a compartment in the board exams. Subject teachers will be present in these meetings to discuss the challenges of the students and discuss and plan the way forward with parents.

Principals and teachers will review the results and begin extra classes for students to ensure that every compartment student clears the re-exams. The District Officer (DO) will prepare a detailed analysis of Class X and Class XII results, presenting the details of students who have passed, failed and have got a compartment, and these details will be categorised school-wise, area-wise, and subject-wise, to identify the gaps.

It was also noted in the statement that despite clear instructions, not many teachers have yet adopted an adult learner, as this initiative is “mandatory and compulsory”. Teachers who have adopted at least one adult learner were appreciated.

It was further instructed in the meeting that teachers teaching only morning sessions must adopt at least one adult learner. Teachers posted in central sectors of the city will adopt an adult learner, and failure to adopt will lead to a recommendation for transfer of the teacher to peripheral area schools and assignment to teach evening sessions.

Also, transfer requests will not be considered from teachers who have not adopted an adult learner, and those who do not adopt an adult learner will have a negative reflection in the ACR starting this year.
