AP’s 100-day school plan lifts Class 10 board results

Vijayawada, Apr 30 (UNI): A tightly executed 100-day academic intervention spearheaded by Andhra Pradesh Education and IT Minister Nara Lokesh has delivered a measurable jump in Class 10 outcomes, with the state’s overall pass percentage rising to 85.25% from 81.1% last year.
The programme - rolled out across government schools between December 2025 and March 2026 - combined continuous assessment, data-driven monitoring, and targeted academic support, emerging as a central driver behind the improved results.
At the heart of the initiative was a structured testing and analytics framework. Students underwent 46 low-pressure slip tests, with performance data captured on the LEAP mobile app and tracked daily through multiple dashboards. This enabled real-time identification of learning gaps and allowed teachers to tailor instruction accordingly.
