SWABI, July 20: The education department should not grant annual increment and transfer poor performing teachers from the area, according to the some parents of students who failed in the Secondary School Certificate examination of the Mardan Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education.

Criticising the teachers, they said that the result reflected upon their poor teaching skills and dereliction of duty.

The angry parents told journalists that failing of such a large number of students indicated that teachers had failed to impart education to students.

The result was declared on July 16.

Citing examples, they said that only a single boy out of a class of 22 had passed in the Government High School Beka for Boys. They said that it was illogical that none other than that single boy passed in key subjects.—Correspondent
