Dakhil, Vocational Pass rates up
Unlike the other boards, the success rate of madrasa and technical education boards in this year's SSC and its equivalent examinations is higher than that of the previous year.
In madrasa board, the pass rate has risen to 90.2 percent from last year's 89.25 percent. The rate is 83.01 percent in technical board. It was 81.97 percent the previous year.
The number of GPA-5 achievers has also increased in technical board. But, the case is not the same with madrasa board.
This year, the average rate of success in the eight general education boards has fallen to 86.72 percent from 92.67 percent last year.
The overall pass rate stands at 87.04 percent, which is 4.3 percent lower than last year's.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid have blamed the countrywide political unrest during the examinations for the deteriorated results.
When reporters yesterday asked Nahid at his office then how did the students under madrasa and technical boards did better than last year, he did not give a direct answer.
But he said, “The results show that they have done well. We had nothing to do with the results.”
Under madrasa board, 254,622 examinees took their Dakhil exams from 9,135 institutions this year. Of them, 229,666 students have passed.
A total of 11,338 students, including 4040 girls, have achieved GPA-5 where the number was 14,013 last year.
