Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) Balbir Singh Dhol submitted his resignation following Chief Minister Amarinder Singh's order on Thursday after poor results of Class X board examinations.
The Chief Minister's directive was communicated to Dhol by Education Minister Aruna Chaudhry.
Dhol's resignation was immediately accepted, an official spokesperson said.
Only 52 per cent candidates passed the Class 10th board exams.
The PSEB shakeup came two days after the Chief Minister sought a report from the Education Minister on the poor results.
