The number of educational institutions with a zero percent pass rate has increased in the published results of the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent exams, while the number of institutes with a 100 percent pass rate has decreased this time.

According to educationists, apart from the decrease in pass rate and the number of GPA-5, these two indicators hint that more efforts are required from the students and teachers to improve the scenario of intermediate-level education.

Only five institutions had a zero percent pass rate in 2021. Accordingly, this time the percentage of educational                 institutions with a zero percent pass rate has increased 10 times.

In 2021, there were 1,934 institutions from which all the students who participated in the HSC and equivalent examinations passed.

Chattogram, Barishal and Sylhet boards have no institutions where 100 percent of students failed, while Dinajpur board is at the top with 13 institutes where no student passed.

Dhaka Education Board has eight such educational institutes, while Rajshahi Board has nine, Cumilla Board has five, Jashore Board has six, and Mymensingh Education Board has three institutions with a zero percent pass rate.

The number of institutions where all students have failed is four in the Madrasa Education Board and two in the Technical Education Board this time.

Last year, there were 103 institutions with a 100 percent pass rate under the madrasa board and 195 under the technical board.

This time, educational institutes with a 100 percent pass rate are: 93 in Dhaka Board, 31 in Rajshahi, 37 in Cumilla, 39 in Jashore, 16 in Chattogram, 34 in Barishal, 11 in Sylhet, 24 in Dinajpur, and 12 in Mymensingh.
