The Karnataka government has launched a targeted initiative to improve Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) results in a key region of the state. In a significant move, the authorities will provide a monthly incentive of Rs 1,000 to teachers conducting special classes for Class 10 students in seven districts of the Kalyana Karnataka region.
Focus on Writing Skills and Revision
The special coaching program, announced on 22 December 2025, is designed with a clear pedagogical focus. Teachers involved in these sessions have been specifically instructed to concentrate on two critical areas: enhancing students' writing abilities and conducting thorough revision of the syllabus. This directive aims to address common weaknesses observed in board examinations and build core competencies among students.
Strategic Intervention in Kalyana Karnataka
The scheme is strategically limited to the seven districts under the Kalyana Karnataka region, formerly known as the Hyderabad-Karnataka region. This geographical targeting suggests an effort to address educational disparities and boost academic performance in these specific areas. The financial incentive for teachers serves as both a motivational tool and a form of recognition for the additional effort required to conduct these special classes outside regular school hours.
The initiative underscores the state education department's direct approach to improving Class 10 board exam outcomes. By incentivizing educators and mandating a focus on foundational skills like writing and revision, the government hopes to see a tangible uplift in the SSLC pass percentages and overall quality of results from these districts in the upcoming examinations.
