Assam's Education Minister Ranoj Pegu has informed that the government has taken a decision to close 34 state-run schools as none of their students passed this year's High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) or Class 10 examinations.
- Over 500 students from these schools failed the Board of Secondary Education Assam (SEBA) conducted HSLC examination this year.
Announcing the decision, Dr Pegu stated that it is meaningless to spend taxpayer's money on these schools with zero success rate. Also, there are many other schools in the state where the enrolment of students is very low.
The Assam Education Minister also assured of the amalgamation of these schools with neighbouring schools.
- "And for this merging process, some schools will be shut down. We will try to move the new school forward with a new look. It is a continuous process, there are around 2000-2500 such proposals in the state and we are examining it and we are trying our best to keep these schools," the Assam Education Minister said.
Earlier in June, 102 state-run schools had been served show cause notice by the Assam Secondary Education Department, for poor results of their students in this year's High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) or Class 10 examination.
