Himachal Pradesh Schools to Issue Show Cause Notices Over Poor Class 10 Results

The Himachal Pradesh education department will serve show cause notices to teachers from schools affiliated with the state board where less than 25% of students passed the class 10 board exams. The initiative aims to seek explanations for the low pass rates and improve future performance.

In a significant move, the Himachal Pradesh education department announced on Tuesday that it will serve show cause notices to teachers in state-affiliated schools where the class 10 board exam pass rate is below 25%. The move is aimed at holding educators accountable for the poor results.

Officials revealed that the analysis of the class 10 board results showed dismal performance in 116 schools, with 30 schools recording zero pass percentage. Ashish Kohli, Director of Elementary Education, stated that the process of sending notices would commence immediately.

"Warnings and potential stoppage of increments are on the table. Teachers with a tenure of nine months or more at these schools will need to explain the poor results," Kohli clarified. The education department also plans recruitments and induction training for new teachers to address these concerns.
