(a) whether the level of teaching in the second shift (for
boys) of Government schools is much lower as compared to the
first shift (for girls) which is hampering the performance
of boys and overall literacy growth rate in the country; and

matter?

under the Ministry of Human Resource Development are co-
educational schools and there are no separate shifts for
boys and girls. As such there is no question of difference
in level of teaching and the performance of the boys viz a
viz girls on this account.
