Concern over poor show

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: The Delhi Abhibhavak Mahasangh has expressed serious concern over the decline in performance of Delhi Government-run schools in the Central Board of Secondary Education's Class XII examinations this year.

Compared to 2004, the overall pass percentage of 653 government schools this year has gone down by 1.38 per cent, the Mahasangh said demanding resignation of Delhi's Education Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely for failing to arrest the deteriorating condition of the entire education system in the Capital.

They alleged that the Congress Government in Delhi had failed to improve the quality of education and was blindly promoting its commercialisation. The Mahasangh said one of the main reasons behind the government schools' declining performance was its failure to address the problems of these institutions that play a crucial role in the lives of those belonging to the poor and weaker sections of society.
