Tripura: Poor performance of 125 Vidyajyoti Schools sparks political controversy

These schools, previously affiliated with the Tripura Board of Secondary Education, were converted to English medium and affiliated with CBSE after the BJP came to power. The recently announced CBSE results showed pass percentages of 61% for Class 10 and 55% for Class 12. Additionally, 32% and 22% of students from these respective classes have been placed in the compartment category, eligible for improvement exams. The underwhelming performance of many renowned schools, including those in Agartala, has led to criticism from opposition parties, CPIM and Congress, who blame the BJP for the bleak situation.
