The district administration felicitated students and headmasters of the Zilla Parishad Schools for achieving good results in the SSC public examination-2016 at a function here on Friday.
Unlike the previous year when just one student scored a perfect 10 grade point average (GPA), nine students this year – Akshaya, Vivekananda, Megavath, Saikumar, Shaini, Sneha, Soujanya, Srinitha, Pavankumar, and Ruthika – from ZP High Schools scored the highest grade points.
Similarly, 12 students secured 9.8 GPA, while 180 scored 9.5 GPA. As many as 111 schools set a record by achieving 100 per cent results. This was a rare record for government schools.
Honoring them, Collector Yogitha Rana said students would become meritorious if they worked hard and parents and teachers encouraged them in the right direction. If girl students fail or do not perform well in the SSC, parents generally marry them off.
Therefore, teachers must ensure that girl students achieved 100 per cent results to avoid child marriages, she said.
Efforts
Later, students, parents and headmasters said that with the special interest taken by officials in the Education Department and the Collector since November and with the special classes provided at schools, the results were phenomenal. On the occasion, Udaykumar, who cracked the Civil Services examinations, also spoke.
