THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The three-fold rise in the number of full A+grade holders in the 2021 SSLC examination compared to the year before had invited a lot of flak for the state general education department. A year later, General Education Minister V Sivankutty openly admitted the anomaly and claimed that it has been addressed this year.
“Last year, over 1.25 lakh students had got A+grade in all subjects. Our (SSLC) result became a joke at the national level. However, this time around, the results reflect quality in terms of A+, though the overall success rate was above 99%,” Sivankutty said.
