Minister's observation
One third of the total examinees could not pass the SSC exams. The overall results of the SSC this year are not satisfactory, because the percentage of pass in the eight general education boards is 67.41 this year, while the rate was 70.81 last year under seven education boards.
The Sylhet Board secured the top position among the eight general education boards with a pass rate of 78.71 per cent this year, while the rate of the same board was the lowest last year.
So, could we say the examinees of the Sylhet Board have used unfair means in the exams this year? The education minister's observation that the pass rate has dropped because the examinees could not adopt unfair means does not sound convincing.
