Khetia (Madhya Pradesh): Zero results in the board exam from Malpha village have left the villagers and the parents of students fuming. Unlike the neighbouring schools, where students celebrated academic achievements, Malpha's outcome painted a starkly different picture. Amidst the jubilation of successful candidates elsewhere, Malpha's class 12 cohort faced a collective setback.
Out of 89 students, who appeared for the exams, a disheartening reality emerged: none managed to secure a passing grade. This dismal outcome has ignited a firestorm of discontent among villagers, who are now raising allegations of irregularities and demanding swift action against the school authorities. Venting their frustrations, parents and community members pointed fingers at systemic failures within the school.
They cited a lack of educational rigour, absenteeism among teachers and an environment conducive to academic negligence. Parents like Ravindra Patil expressed anguish over the detrimental impact on their children's future, lamenting the absence of meaningful education within the school's walls. Jitendra Patil, parent of another student, echoed similar sentiments, urging accountability and swift measures against those responsible.
He highlighted the strict vigilance at the examination centre, which thwarted traditional cheating methods, thereby exposing the dire state of affairs within the school. Amid mounting criticism, Kishore Patil, parent of a student, called for a decisive action, suggesting the possibility of closing the school if systemic reforms are not implemented promptly.
These sentiments underscored a community's frustration with a broken P educational system failing to nurture its youth. Responding to the outcry, school in-charge Alok Sisodia pledged to investigate the root causes behind the abysmal results. However, scepticism lingers as villagers demand tangible reforms to salvage the educational prospects of Malpha's students and restore faith in the institution entrusted with their future.
