She has told the Education Department officials to open special tuition classes in all the blocks and depute expert teachers to teach the failed students. This apart, sensitisation programmes for parents of the failed students should be conducted, she said. The government high schools have recorded pass percentage of 77.43, while the pass percentage in aided and unaided schools is 76.96 and 76.94, respectively, he said.
