All schools will ensure that extra classes are held. The district education officer will prepare an analysis of Class 10 and 12 board results, highlighting the students who have passed, got a compartment, and failed. This detailed report will include the demography, subject constraint and other shortcomings, if any, at the school level. Such constraints shall be removed on priority. Prerna Puri, UT education secretary, will visit a government school each Friday, meet 10 principals on midday meal lunch, and monitor educational practices and teaching methodologies. The first meeting was held at Government Model High School, Sector 12, on Friday. Speaking at the meeting, Puri said there is no question as to why students of government schools should fail or have a compartment in the board exam results. She added that the principals and teachers will have to be held accountable for any lapses leading to students' failure in the board exams. Due credit will be given to those whose students are high achievers. Puri added that a meeting with all the principals will be held shortly to review the results of Class 10 and 12 board exams. The teachers who have maximum students under the compartment category will be required to explain their position.
