UAE-based schools prove their mettle
DUBAI - Students of the UAE-based Indian schools have yet again proved their mettle this year with high scores in the science, commerce and humanities streams of the All India Senior School Certificate Examination (Class 12) conducted by Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi.
The overall pass percentage of the UAE and other Gulf schools have surpassed the performance of independent schools in India by 2.5 per cent.
"Both the boys and girls have done equally well at the examinations this year," noted Madhav Rao, Principal of Our Own English High School, Dubai, and Chairman of Council for CBSE affiliated schools in the Gulf.

Meanwhile, CBSE Gulf Council Chairman, Mr Rao, disclosed that the pass percentage of independent schools have increased significantly this year.
