In a deeply concerning revelation, a recent report highlights the collapse of the education system in Haryana, where not a single student passed the Class 12 board examinations in 18 government schools. This shocking statistic has sparked outrage, raising serious questions about the effectiveness of education policies in the state—ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The data, which emerged from Haryana’s education board, paints a grim picture of student performance and administrative negligence. Despite years of rhetoric surrounding “development” and “Digital India,” the ground reality in many BJP-ruled cow-belt states—like Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh—tells a different story. Basic education continues to suffer due to lack of infrastructure, poor teacher-student ratios, outdated pedagogy, and politicization of the education sector.
Zero Pass Percentage in 18 Schools: A Wake-Up Call
According to officials, more than 500 students appeared from these 18 schools, yet not one managed to clear the exam. This mass failure reflects not just student shortcomings, but systemic failure—pointing toward inadequate teaching standards, lack of accountability, and apathy from educational authorities.
If government schools—meant to serve the socio-economically weaker sections—cannot provide even a basic level of education, it raises urgent questions: what future are we creating for rural and underprivileged youth?
A Broader Pattern of Educational Decline
This failure is not an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern. In many cow-belt states, education is falling behind compared to southern and northeastern states. Instead of focusing on real educational reform, BJP-led states are often seen prioritizing cultural symbolism, religious polarization, and identity politics. Critics argue that political will to genuinely uplift public education is missing.
The focus appears to be on populist measures and headline-grabbing events, while ground-level policy implementation remains weak. Teachers are overburdened with non-teaching duties, classrooms lack digital infrastructure, and student engagement is at an all-time low.
Neglecting the Future: Political Apathy and Educational Regression
Rather than strengthening the backbone of the nation—education—governments in such states are pushing the youth into darkness and backwardness. The irony lies in the claim of creating a “Vishwaguru Bharat” (global leader India) while basic literacy and numeracy suffer in many rural belts.
The failure in Haryana reflects poorly not only on the local education department but also on the state government’s priorities. When thousands of crores are spent on events, advertisements, and religious projects, why can’t a fraction be dedicated to fixing schools?
Conclusion: The Urgent Need for Reform
India cannot dream of becoming a superpower if its young population continues to be failed by the very institutions meant to empower them. The 0% pass rate in 18 government schools should serve as a national emergency warning—prompting immediate action, accountability, and reform.
Political parties must stop using education as a tool for ideological grooming and start treating it as the foundation of India’s future. If this crisis is ignored, it won’t be just Haryana that suffers—it will be the entire nation.
