The provincial education department has summoned the heads of 41 schools in Lahore for an inquiry after their Class Nine examination results fell below 20 percent, the 24NewsHD TV channel reported on Wednesday.
The school heads have been asked to appear for the inquiry along with written explanations for the poor results. The department has also sought separate results for teachers of all subjects as part of the investigation.
Officials said disciplinary action would be considered against school heads and teachers after they are given an opportunity for a personal hearing.
The schools included Government High School Pakkay Quarter Mughalpura, Government High School Pajian, Government High School Rang Mahal and Government High School Govind Raiwind.
Other schools on the list are Government High School Shahpur Kanjran, Government High School Karbat, Government High School Awan Dhai Wala, Government High School Barqi and Government High School Ravi Road.
Government High School Maqbool Aam in GOR-I, Government High School Jaman Cantt and Government High School Chachowali Lahore Cantt are also among the schools summoned for the inquiry.
The remaining schools include Government High School Maraka Quarter, Government High School Chah Miran, Government High School Mominpura, Government High School Chung Khurd, Government High School Ladhkay Ochay and Government High School Bilal Ganj.
Government High School Jallo Station and Government High School Hair Pind are also included in the list.
The inquiry will examine the reasons behind the low results and assess the performance of teachers in individual subjects before any disciplinary action is taken.
