Issue notices to edu officers of districts with low pass percentage: Siddaramaiah to Chief Secy

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has directed the Chief Secretary to issue notices to educational officers in districts that recorded low pass percentages in recent examinations. Emphasizing accountability, Siddaramaiah pointed out that District Deputy Project Coordinators (DDPIs) must shoulder the responsibility for these outcomes. He insisted that these officials, along with district secretaries, should actively engage with schools to assess and enhance the performance of teachers. The Chief Minister's directive comes in the wake of disappointing exam results that have raised concerns about the quality of education in certain regions. By urging frequent school visits, Siddaramaiah aims to foster a culture of transparency and improvement within the education system. This hands-on approach is expected to help identify root causes of underperformance and develop targeted strategies to address them. Siddaramaiah's call for action underscores the importance of proactive measures in education administration. He believes that regular reviews and constructive feedback can significantly elevate teaching standards and student outcomes. The initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure that all students in Karnataka have access to high-quality education, regardless of their district.
