Talking to Northeast Now , on the dip in pass numbers and poor performance of government schools, Academic Inspector of Schools, Udalguri, Jayanta Kumar Sharma said there is a clear reason for the gloomy picture. The Gunotsav was more of a gimmick focusing on cleanliness, discipline and extra co-curricular activities and less on the academic. Sarma blamed the state government for roping a large number of teachers to help with the National Register of Citizens (NRC) update process for the past one year.” He said.
Most of the Mathematics and Science teachers were engaged in the NRC resulting in poor performance of the school students. The government’s lack of a policy to deal with the issue has resulted in poor performance of students in HSLC.
