PANAJI  
Twenty three higher secondary schools across the State managed to secure a pass percentage of 95 per cent and more, of which three managed to secure 100 per cent pass percentage. However, none of these are government-run higher secondary schools.   
Interestingly, 17 of these had featured in last year’s list of higher secondary schools which secured a pass percentage of more than 95 per cent.   
While two of the HSS - St Xavier’s HSS, Mapusa and Rosary HSS, Navelim had sponsored more than 700 students, four schools have sponsored less than 100 students.
