The meeting also decided to set up language labs at schools utilising existing infrastructure to hone language skills of students and especially the primary school teachers.
Short duration training programmes exclusively for enhancing communication of Principals would also be organised, said the minutes of the meeting.
To ensure better performance, the meeting decided that every region should fix an achievable target for the Board result for the session 2015-16 -- higher than that achieved in the session 2014-15 -- and also fix a target for each of the schools under their jurisdiction.
All the Regions should prepare a workable strategy for their schools for achieving the set target and need based training would be organised by the regions for improving the result in subjects such as Mathematics, Economics, Accountancy,Business studies.
