Strict measures for underperforming Himachal schools
Himachal Pradesh's Education Minister, Rohit Thakur, is rolling out strict measures for government schools where board exam results have dropped to 25% or less.
The goal? To boost accountability and make sure students get a better shot at quality education.
TL;DR
Tough measures for struggling schools
Staff at struggling schools could lose their annual pay raises, get transferred, or even face disciplinary action—especially principals and headmasters.
Monthly reviews will track progress, focusing on places that have enough teachers but still aren't delivering results (like a school in Theog).
On the flip side, teachers and schools that do well will be recognized.
The state is also merging hundreds of "zero-enrollment" schools to use resources better and improve efficiency.
