Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced results of High School and Higher Secondary School Examination 2018 here on Monday. Congratulating the successful students, parents and teachers, Chouhan said that the students have written a history of success. He mentioned that better results this year have been shown in comparison to the last year.
Chouhan told the students, who have not performed as they desired, not to be disappointed and demotivated. There are several opportunities for progress in life. Make better efforts in future and progress. Giving examples of cricket player Sachin Tendulkar, female boxer Mary Kom, all-rounder cricket player Kapil Dev and the first President of America George Washington, Chouhan said despite securing low marks, these personalities accomplished marvellous and great works. Therefore, there is no need for disappointment, he added.
Besides, Chouhan stated that fee on behalf of students, who secure over 70 per cent marks will be borne by the State Government, on getting admissions in any institution for higher education. He will not let dream of any students die owing to dearth of money. Expressing happiness over girls clinching leading in the examinations, he mentioned that girls should be encouraged; they are not less than anyone.
Chouhan said that a special arrangement is being made this year for career counselling for students to help them decide their future. Career conselling arrangement will be made in every district. He informed that district wise conventions will be organised for students, who secure over 70 per cent marks.
Students will be felicitated in conventions and counselling about the career will be given. Minimum 5 career counsellors will be appointed at employment office in each district. Two career counsellors with cooperation of Higher Education Department will be made available in each district.
Orientation programme of 500 career counsellors will be organised at Academy of Administration on May 17 and career counselling scheme will be commenced.
Chouhan further mentioned that all teachers will be merged in the education department. The seniority of teachers who are working since earlier will not get affected. He expressed hope that teachers will make more efforts to bring quality and improvement in the education in future.
