Even as the state government is spending huge funds for providing quality education in its schools, it has failed to achieve the desired results. Of the 17 government-run high and higher secondary schools in Kalakote tehsil, the pass percentage in five schools is zero per cent, that is, none passed.

Sources in the district education department disclosed that students in five schools in Kalakote tehsil had failed in the class X examination. The schools included Higher Secondary School (HSS) Broh, HSS, Kameela and HSS, Kalakote.

Sources further said the results of class X in other government schools were also bad. High School, Dhayla, Kalakote, with 57 per cent marks has achieved the maximum pass percentage in class X, High School, Rainthal, has secured a pass percentage of 29 per cent. Schools like HSS, Mogla and HSS, Syal Sui, have registered a pass percentage of 33 per cent and 36 per cent, respectively.

However, sources said in the four private-run schools in Kalakote tehsil, the pass percentage in class X examination was 100 per cent.

A senior education department officer said teachers took their assignments lightly and were not bothered about the career of students. Director, school education, was not available for comments.
