NEW DELHI: Although the overall pass percentage of government schools in Delhi has gone down by a meagre 0.6 per cent, their performance on various other fronts has vindicated the State Government's policy of giving liberal admissions and bringing down the dropout rate drastically, especially that of the girl child. For the first time, 18 government schools have registered a 100 per cent pass percentage. In fact, the performance of government-run Pratibha Vikas Vidyalayas and Sarvodaya Vidhalayas has been far better than some of the public and private aided schools. The Pratibha Vikas Vidyalayas have registered a pass percentage of 97 and the Sarvodaya Vidyalayas 78.8. According to official figures, it is not only the government schools where the pass percentage has registered a marginal decrease but even in aided schools it has gone down by 1.9 per cent and in public schools it has gone down by 0.13. The liberal admission policy of the Government under the Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan has resulted in a big increase with the total number of admissions going up, resulting in overall record appearance of 57,616 students for the Class XII examinations as against 54,000 students last year. And of these, only 5,100 students have failed. Officials point out that the overall marginal decline in the pass percentage is nothing to worry about. In fact, they say the new admission policy has been right on target and has been able to attract those students who opted out mid-way.
