PSEB 10th results 2017: Punjab and Hindi results recorded above 90 per cent success

IT WAS English that had adversely affected the overall pass percentage of the Class XII results declared recently by the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB). And, English, along with mathematics, again played spoilsport with the overall pass percentage in the Class X results declared on Monday. The teachers of these subjects at government schools have started getting the jitters as the government might seek explanations from them anytime soon.

Most of the failures are in mathematics and English. As many as 1,63,536 students, including 93,100 in maths and 70,436 in English, failed this year. In the PSEB Class XII results, over 77,000 students failed in English, thereby affecting the overall pass percentage.

Sources in the education department said district education officers of all 22 districts in the state have been told to prepare the lists of schools, which had performed poorly, as well as teachers of both subjects. According to sources, the number of such teachers would run into hundreds.
