The State Government has served notices to the 82 schools that recorded nil results in the annual Class-10 examinations conducted by the Board of Secondary Education (BSE) this year.
School and Mass Education Minister Samir Ranjan Dash informed this after a meeting with the BSE authorities on Thursday.
Dash said he would visit these schools and try to find out the reasons behind the poor show in the examinations. After that, steps would be taken accordingly. Besides, a proposal was also put forth at the meeting for introduction of Spoken English course in the schools, the Minister informed.
Dash, who attended the meeting during his first courtesy visit to the BSE office here, further said that he would focus on strengthening the secondary education in the State.
“Government schools are losing credibility these days, which has posed a challenge for us. I will take every required step to rekindle people’s faith in these schools,” Dash said.
