All students fail Board exams in 150 Uttar Pradesh schools
Agra: All the students of 98 schools in Uttar Pradesh failed to clear the Class 10 Board examinations, while all the students of 52 schools failed to clear the Class 12 examination. The 150 schools include state government-aided as well as private schools. Further, many of these schools had less than 10 students enrolled for the exams.
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.”

Bangladesh's interim govt revokes ousted PM Sheikh Hasina's passport
Dhaka, Jan 7: Bangladesh's interim government on Tuesday said it has revoked the passport of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and 96 others over their alleged involvement in enforced disappearances and the July killings.
Hasina, 77, has been living in India since August 5 last year when she fled Bangladesh following a massive student-led protest that toppled her Awami League's (AL) 16-year regime.
Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has issued arrest warrants for Hasina and several former Cabinet ministers, advisers, and military and civil officials for “crimes against humanity and genocide”.
Addressing a press briefing here, Chief Adviser's Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder said, "The Passports Department cancelled passports of 22 people involved in enforced disappearances, while passports of 75 people, including Sheikh Hasina, were revoked due to their involvement in the July killings.”
He, however, did not reveal the names of the remaining individuals whose passports were cancelled, the state-run BSS news agency reported.
