December 22, which is the birthday of renowned mathematician Ramanujam will be observed in all the schools of UP board wherein puzzles and other activities based on mental maths are to be organised.
Likewise, the teachers and the school authorities have been asked to identify weak students after the first quarterly test is held in the month of May following which these weak students should be guided throughout the year so that they score well in board exams.
For better preparation for the board examination a portal called ‘Jigyasa on call’ (query on call) will be launched where the students can get answers to their queries, informed the Board Secretary, Dibyakant Shukla.
