"Different national surveys have shown that a section of students cant do simple addition, subtraction, division etc, neither can they read out from their textbooks.
"I am sure nobody is happy with this state of affairs of education.
"Our government is committed to develop an academic system in the state by changing this situation," a public notification issued by the Department of School Education said on February 23.
