Chandigarh, May 17 -- Following Chandigarh's poorer show in comparison to the rest of the region in the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 10 and 12 exams, the UT education department has launched "Mission 100" to improve the academic performance of students enrolled in government schools after analysing the results. The objective of the mission is to achieve 100% performance in various academic and administrative targets. Key objectives include aiming for 100% student attendance, 100% pass result and teacher training. The focus areas include providing remedial support to underperforming students. The department will hold monthly reviews and school performance analysis using a digital platform. Teachers will have to take accountability of the students' performances. To increase parental engagement, the department aims to strengthen school management committees. A parent-teacher meeting to review the board results of students who got placed in the compartment category will also be organised. All schools will ensure that extra classes are held. The district education officer will prepare an analysis of the results, which will include the demography, subject constraint and other shortcomings. Prerna Puri, UT education secretary, will visit a government school each Friday, meet 10 principals over midday meal lunch, and monitor educational practices. 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. Due credit will be given to those whose students are high achievers. Puri added that she has directed the department to constitute subject-wise committees under the principals who have specialised in a subject to prepare learning material for the board classes by Monday so that it can be distributed when the children come for their classes after summer vacations. htc...
