The 38 schools that got results below 60 percent in the last examinations had to answer at least 3 preparatory exams this year. Of these 38 schools, 24 are government schools and 14 are private schools.

According to the BEOs, group studies, special classes, stress management trainings, subject revisions, parent – teacher training, and others were held regularly in a bid to improve the result this year.
