SSC, equivalent exams' success rate at 80.35 percent
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid handed over copies of the results to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday morning, as has been the current practice every year.
A total of 104,761 students scored GPA 5 out of the 1,786,613 who took the exams.
The success rate in the school-leaving exams last year was 88.29 percent and 109, 761 scored GPA 5 -- so there has been a drop in both the success rate and those scoring GPA 5.
Like the last year, girls have taken the lead this year. Their pass rate was 80.78 percent as opposed to the boys’ 79.93 percent.
Speaking at the PMO ceremony, Education Minister Nahid said he was not surprised by the drop in the success rate.
"The exams this time were held in an atmosphere free of cheating. The examiners earlier would not evaluate the answer scripts them properly. This time that has not happened."
Prime Minister Hasina said, "The change in method of examining the answer script was timely."
Congratulating those who cleared the exams, she stressed on building residential institutions in remote areas like the haors, chars (river islands) and hill tracts. "We want everyone to get the opportunity to go to school."
The theoretical SSC and equivalent exams took place between Feb 2 and Mar 2, while the practical exams were held between Mar 4 and Mar 11.
About 1.43 million students sat for the SSC exams under eight general education boards, 256,501 students under the madrasa board and 104,212 students for the SSC vocational exams.
The education minister said the success rate in the SSC exams stands at 81.20 percent, 76.20 percent in the madrasa board and 78.69 percent in the vocational exams.
Nahid is scheduled to announce a summary of the results of the secondary exams at a press conference at the secretariat at 12:30pm. Individual results will be available to students at 2pm.
