Nearly a thousand schools achieved perfect exam results as students across Bangladesh received their Secondary School Certificate scores. Officials counted 984 secondary schools where every single student passed the tough exams. The education ministry reported a dramatic drop from last year when 2,968 schools managed perfect scores. More than 30,000 schools participated in the nationwide testing program. The gap between top performers and struggling institutions continues growing wider.
Students faced much tougher conditions during the exam period compared to previous years. Girls dominated the results by outperforming boys in nearly every category measured by education officials. Female students grabbed 676,445 passing grades while male students earned 626,981 successful results. The gender gap reached 49,464 more girls than boys among those who cleared the exams. Nearly two million teenagers sat for the demanding tests across the country.
Some schools struggled badly with 134 institutions recording zero percent pass rates. The number of failing schools jumped sharply from just 51 complete failures last year. Education experts worry about the growing divide between successful and struggling schools. Rural areas saw many of the worst performing institutions while urban schools dominated the top results. The ministry must address why certain schools cannot help any students pass basic requirements.
