10th standard results (Mythri team)

10^TH STANDARD RESULTS:

Every year we used to share very happy news.   Please excuse us to share 'not so happy' news this year.   Two children out of three school dropouts have passed with flying colours, one with first class and the other with second class.    Four first generation school goers out of five, have passed with flying colours, two securing first class and two with second class.  But none of the dyslexic children is able to pass this year.  At the time of joining Kaliyuva Mane, they suffered from an academic lag of 6-8 years in mainstream  schools.  May be we should have made them appear for this coveted examination, next year.   All the children and teachers have put their best efforts.  Please bear with us. The fact is there was no school for seven children in the current education system, either free or paid!  Please read the brief profiles of all the children.  All the children wrote examinations in English medium taking Kannada as 1st language, English as 2nd language & Sanskrit as 3rd language.
