After training, government school teachers will again sit
for attempting the test papers on October 14.
Teachers of five schools from Indore district had failed to
deliver 30 percent passing result in class 10 and class 12 Madhya Pradesh Board
of Secondary Education (MPBSE) examination. The teachers including all such
teachers from the state had to attempt the examination testing their knowledge
in June.
The examination had tested skills of school teachers in
about 700 schools by making them appear for an examination similar to class 10
and class 12 board exams.
Overall, about 3500 teachers in the state from these
‘underperforming schools’ were tested. From Indore, about 15 teachers will be
tested as five schools have failed to deliver minimum 30 percent results in
board examination.
The district committee of the department had set the
question paper similar to the question papers prepared for the board
examination in the past five years. This checked the level of knowledge of
teachers.
Though there was no result based system, most teachers were
unable to score even 50 percent and hence, were sent for training.
Hence, the teachers were trained for the subject by CTE (College
of Teacher Education), Bhopal and IASE (Institute of Advanced Study in
Education), Bhopal. After training, as per orders, another examination was
scheduled in the last week of September.
However, quarterly examinations of board students are
scheduled at the same time. Hence, the date for teachers’ examination has been
revised to Oct 14, as per orders from state education department.
The notice was floated to various district education
officers, who have to ensure that the notice reaches teachers latest by Sept
30.
Teachers from the following schools district had failed to
deliver 30 percent passing result in class 10 and class 12: Urdu High School,
Juna Risala, High School Sagdod, High School Girota, Depalpur, High School
Shivani and High School Dudhiya.
In this, there were five teachers in mathematics with one
teacher each in English and science, whose results are less than 30 percent.
Further, maximum 15 teachers were assessed from the city in the final list.
