Apart from this, 237 schools in the state have a pass percentage of less than 20.
Agra district inspector of schools, Vinod Kumar Rai said, “No student has passed in nine schools of Agra district. Seven schools have a zero percent result in high school and two in intermediate. The data was compiled for this year alone, and there are no compiled figures for schoolwise pass percentage in the state for the previous years. Suitable steps will be taken to raise academic standards in schools with poor performance in board exams.”

Beed (PTI): A man entered an SSC exam centre in Ashti in Maharashtra's Beed district on Friday and assaulted a female student, triggering outrage among parents who sought an explanation from authorities over the security breach.
The incident happened at Doithan centre in Beedsangvi at 10:15am, just before the School Secondary Certificate exam was about to begin, an official said.
"He punched the girl and fled before those in the vicinity could overpower him. The parents of the girl, who were summoned to school, had a heated argument with authorities over the security breach. Others supported them," he said.
The girl, who was shaken from the incident, was allowed to answer the exam under supervision, the official added.
How did an outsider manage to come in without being checked and also flee after assaulting somebody, a group of parents asked.
An Ashti police station official said all efforts are underway to nab the accused.
