A long education way still to go at 62%

A long education  way still to go at 62%

The pass percentage of the Guwahati zone in the CBSE Class X final exam stands at 62.29% while the zones in the South have performed stupendously, such as the Thiruvananthapuram zone whose pass percentage stands at an amazing 99.60%. This is a reminder yet again of where we stand vis-à-vis the education scenario outside the Northeast, especially the South. Unless there is serious introspection among education experts and governments in the region, and total overhaul of the teaching-learning methodologies in place for both valid and reliable education catering to the imperatives of the day, things are unlikely to change. Pompous political education slogans must be replaced by solid action on the ground.

GUWAHATI, May 29: Altogether 62.29 per cent of the students from the eight northeastern States who took this year’s CBSE Class X final examination have cleared it, the results of which were declared on Tuesday. All the eight States, including Sikkim, fall under the Guwahati zone of the CBSE. Altogether 63,098 students from 915 schools from the region took the examination at 328 centres.
