SSC results

I was as usual reading the newspaper the other day, the day after SSC results of this year were published. It was full of news and reports on the topic. One article caught my attention. I found that the education board had published two lists. One containing ten schools of Dhaka Board which secured highest number of GPA-5s and the other one based on hundred percent pass rate. The second list made me curious. To find out more about it I went to the official website of the Board. And there I found the second list which is Tangail Cant. Board School (43), Bangladesh International School, Jeddah (50), and some other schools, including cadet colleges. It is evident that the reason behind the hundred percent success rate is the less number of students. The ten cadet colleges have the same advantage. Each of them has no more than 50-54 students who are taken care of for 24 hours a day for almost four years. If these student don't pass, who will? My opinion is there is no credit in having such pass rate with so few students. Let them show if they can achieve the same results with 700-1000 students. To control this huge number of students and to maintain the high standard is a big challenge. And credit goes to the institutions like Viqarunnesa Noon School and College (where the number of students appeared is 786,passed 775,98.60%) and Ideal School & College (where the number is 837, passed 831,99.28%).

I also wonder why some schools enrol so few students. The cadet colleges can at least enrol more students, as there is high demand among students all over Bangladesh to study there.

If they take more students the education sector will be benefited. And then we will see whether they can secure the hundred percent pass rate.
