Mahatma Jyotirao Phule (MJP) BC Welfare Schools have once again proven their academic excellence, this time in the SSC (Class 10) results. The students from these schools achieved a remarkable 95 per cent pass rate, outperforming the overall State average of 81.14 per cent.
In a release on Wednesday, BC Welfare Minister S Savitha expressed her happiness over the outstanding results of MJP BC students. She noted that their performance was significantly higher than the State average and like the impressive results seen in the recently released Intermediate exams.
Education Minister Nara Lokesh released the SSC results, revealing that 6,14,459 students from 11,819 schools across Andhra Pradesh appeared for the exams conducted in March. Among them were 5,788 students from 102 MJP BC Welfare Schools, 95 per cent of whom successfully passed.
Of the 102 MJP schools, 29 schools achieved a perfect 100 per cent pass. Notably, not a single MJP school recorded zero pass percentage, highlighting the consistent performance across the network. In the Intermediate results as well, MJP institutions outperformed State averages.
When compared with other government educational institutions, MJP BC schools stood at par with the best. Andhra Pradesh Residential Schools also reported a 95 per cent pass rate, while others lagged, AP model schools (84 per cent), social welfare schools (89.5 per cent), tribal welfare (67.6 per cent), KGBVs (83 per cent), zilla parishad high schools (71.9 per cent), aided schools (73.3 per cent), municipal schools (69.3 per cent) and government schools (62.7 per cent).
Minister Savitha attributed this success to Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s focus on BC welfare and education. She stressed that MJP BC schools are now competing with corporate institutions in performance. She also praised the efforts of teachers, non-teaching staff and the administration for their dedication. “This outstanding achievement is undoubtedly the result of CM Chandrababu Naidu’s vision and commitment to BC students’ education,” said the Minister.
