Dear "LongLiveBritian" & "Future Weapon" bangladesh government does not disclose most of the defence news ... so here we have nothing to share... other than local politics and economical development news... I could have posted it in the education section... but posted it here as it is quite a big news as 93% students passed their 1st public exam... n the number is 1.8 million.... traditionally only around .5-.6 million take part in SSC... but this 1.8 million is a sign that more than million students are going to take part in SSC which signifies increase in the number of participation of students in education... hopefully this will play a big roll in the development of bd... n another encouraging sign is that girls also has done well in the exam... and they performed relatively better result than boys even though boys have more pass rate..

Participation of students both male and female in education and the number of students taking part in SSC and HSC and getting GPA 5 has been increasing while reduction of the number of students expelled due to cheating is happening gradually for decades... it has not happened over night.... so no single government can not take credit for it... if credit needs to be given it should be gone to the parents and students... both of them are now serious enough for study and getting good grades and to some extent credit goes to the school teachers... even though quality of teachers and education at school still low and most of education is done with the help of private tutors or cotching center....

Of the 57 students of the top-10 merit list, 51 are from outside Dhaka district, according to the results published yesterday. Students from Tangail dominated the merit list with 17 of them saw their names on it. Last year, nine out of the top 10 students were from outside Dhaka.

The overall results of the terminal examinations held for second time marked a significant rise in success rate, 92.34 percent, coupled with an increase in the number of students obtaining first division. Last year's rate was 88.84 percent.

A total of 17,91,651 students -- 8,29,531 boys (92.75 percent) and 9,62,120 girls (91.98 percent) -- passed the examinations this year.

Schools in Dhaka, however, dominated the top-10-schools list, which is prepared considering overall performance of schools.

As in the previous year, girls dominate the merit list with 32 of them on the list. Boys, however, are ahead of girls in terms of average success rate. The number of girls who sat for the exams was also higher than boys.

Some 4,56,694 girls achieved first division against 4,024,60 boys.

As many as 8,59,154 students obtained first division, 7,25,790 second division and 2,06,707 third division while 1,48,680 failed. A total of 21,56,721 students from 85,891 schools of different categories had registered for the exams but 19,40,331 showed up in the exam halls.

Al Yasa, a student of Kodalia Government Primary School in Tangail, secured the first spot in the country obtaining 598 out of 600.

Sadiya Hassan of Rajoir Model Government Primary School, Madaripur, and Naimur Rahman Nayeem of Shrishti Academic School of Tangail jointly secured the second position scoring 596.

Saptarshi Chanda of Chandranath Government Primary School in Srimangal of Moulvibazar and Tanvir Anjum Saadh of Monohardi Model Government Primary School in Monohardi, Narsingdi also jointly stood third securing 595.

The number of schools with cent percent pass rate this year is 51,576 while the number of institutions with zero success is 2,787. Schools attached with Primary Training Institute (PTI) and those run by Brac, a non-government organisation, did well while Ananda schools, run under another government project, did the worst.

The examinations began on November 23 and ended on November 29.

Primary and Mass Education Minister Afsarul Ameen briefed newsmen around 12:15pm at his secretariat office about the results. Prior to that, the results were formally handed over to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina around 10:00am.

State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Ministry Motahar Hossain said the government did not give any grace this year like the previous year when it gave 20 grace marks.

He said the students would be provided mark sheets within three days and they can get admitted to class-VI showing the mark sheets. No money would be needed to take the mark sheets, he said.

The scholarships would be announced within a month, he added.

Asked about schools with zero passes, Ameen said the number of government schools with zero pass has come down to 43 from last year's 117 as they took extra care to bring the number down.

Of the 43, seven schools had failed in the previous year. "Punitive actions will be taken against those," he said.

Motahar said the result showed a significant improvement in the quality of primary education.

"Learning from past we have given our best to make the teachers more active by training them and giving other facilities in the last one year," he told The Daily Star.

He said the students and their guardians became aware about the competition as there is a scholarship based on the results.

Free distribution of cent percent textbooks, increased stipends to boys and girls, continuing mid-day meals, and involving upazila administration in the monitoring and evaluation activities helped lift the education level up to this, he observed.

Rashed K Choudhury, executive director of Campaign for Popular Education (CAMPE), told The Daily Star, "The students of our country can do well if they get proper opportunities to study. Since the dependency on coaching centres does not start at the primary level, the students from outside the country are also doing well.”

Regarding the performance of girls, she said, "The demand for girls' education has increased among guardians as they would not get stipend if they don't do well in the examination. Another thing is that the girls are more studious than boys."

Sahida Khatun, head teacher of Kodalia Government Primary School, said guardians are now more aware of their children's education and that is why they are looking after their children's education more.

"We take a lot of tests round the year so the students have good preparation for their examinations. The teachers of our school teach after preparing a lesson plan at the beginning of the year," she told The Daily Star.

Husne Ara Begum, principal of Viqarunnisa Noon School and College, said it is the combined efforts of all behind such feat.

"Everyone has merit and the result proved that if students are nurtured well they can do well," she said.

Like the previous year, Viqarunnisa Noon School and College headed the top-10-schools' list while Monipur High School and Ideal School and College, Motijheel secured second and third.

Students of Barisal division did the best among the seven divisions with 97.14 percent passed while Sylhet was at the bottom with 86.35 percent passed. Dhaka was fifth with 91.86 percent passed.

At district level, Munshiganj topped among 64 districts with 99.41 percent success rate.

At upazila level, Mehendiganj upazila of Barisal; Dumki of Patuakhali; Shibchar of Madarpur; Tongibari of Munshiganj had 100 percent students passed while Chilmari upazila of Kurigram, had the lowest success rate with 48 percent.

Tales of the talent

No doubt that the most successful students in the primary education terminal examination have done exceptionally well and are overjoyed with their triumph. But the joy of Sadiya Hassan Drishti who jointly secured the second place knows no bound, as she achieved the feat amid immense hardship.

Drishti obtained 596 out of 600 marks from Rajair Model Government Primary School in Gopalganj. She missed the first place by two marks.

Unlike other victorious students, the 11-year-old girl comes from a completely different background and has a painful experience. Miscreants killed her father, Qamrul Islam, when she was nine-month-old.

Defying the hardship, Drishti's mother Shahida Begum continued her study, as she was excelling in school, reports our Madaripur correspondent.

“I am missing my father on this joyful day,” she told The Daily Star, crying.

Thanking all her schoolteachers for her success, she said she wants to be a doctor and treat the ill-fated villagers.

“Perseverance of my daughter made this possible. She studied hard and made me proud”, said Drishti's mother who could not take care of her study, as she had to leave for work early morning. Her income earns the family bread.

The first place holder Al Yasa Iffat of Kodalia Government Primary School of Tangail Sadar upazila said he also wants to be a doctor. He obtained 598 out of 600 marks.

He said he studied at least seven hours every day, and took help from a coaching centre.

His father SM Zakaria Haider is an assistant education officer of Tangail Sadar upazila and mother Fahmida Chowdhury a homemaker.

“Teachers and students of Kodalia Government Primary School is proud of the Iffat's success”, school headmistress Sahida Khatun said.

Naimur Rahman Nayeem, another joint second place winner, is also from Tangail, and a student of Srishti Academic School.

He aims to be a pilot.

Nayeem said he studied minimum six hours regularly. In leisure, he reads books and watches television.

His businessman father Shahidul Islam regrets his inability to give his son ample time but is happy with his success. “He made us proud,” he said.

Saptarshi Chanda of Chandranath Government Primary School in Srimongal of Moulvibazar obtained 595 marks to jointly secure the third place.

She is the only child of Subol Chanda, a medicine trader, and Dipali Rani Chanda, a homemaker.

Deepali Rani said they always encouraged Saptarshi despite financial hurdle. She wants her daughter to be a doctor.

Tanvir Anjum Saadh of Monohardi Model Government Primary School in Monohardi, Narsingdi obtained the third place together with Saptarshi.

“This result is an outcome of continuous inspiration of my parents and teachers,” he told our Narsingdi correspondent.

Son of Amir Hossain of Khidirpur union in Narsingdi, he intends to be a doctor as well.

Dropout fear mounts

Dropout fear mounts
Staff Correspondent

Despite witnessing a good result in this year's primary education terminal examinations, a significant number of students out of over four lakh may drop out from the primary education level, posing a threat to attaining the goal of ensuring cent percent enrolment by 2011.

A total of 2.81 lakh students out of some 24.88 lakh registered did not turn up for this year's examinations and another 1.48 lakh did not succeed.

The number of absentees is 1.27 lakh higher compared to last year. However, the number of unsuccessful students is lesser than last year's 2.3 lakh.

Around 1.54 lakh students did not take the examinations last year when it was introduced for the first time.

Education officials feared drop out of a large number of this year's absentees and unsuccessful students, saying majority of these students belong to poor families. They (families) would not allow the students to sit for the examinations again due to financial constraints.

According to Bangladesh Primary Education Annual Sector Performance Report, 2009, the repetition rates in primary level were found to be in the range of 2.5 to 2.7 at all grades, except for grade I.

"The students who did not take the examination or failed are mostly from rural areas. It is found in most cases that these students feel disinterested to come back to schools as they get involved in different jobs to support their families," said an official of Directorate of Primary Education (DPE).

The DPE, however, does not have any data of how many students, who refrained from taking exams or failed last year, appeared in this year's examinations.

No student from 2,787 schools passed this year. Of the total, the number is high in Ananda schools run by Reaching Out of School project of the government.

These schools have become a major concern for the government as a large number of students from these schools failed last year.

Education experts said the guardians of the unsuccessful and absent students should be motivated for the continuation of their children's education.

Rasheda K Chowdhury, executive director of Campaign for Popular Education (CAMPE), told The Daily Star that it should be studied where the unsuccessful students go. "Do they repeat their enrolment with schools or simply desert studying," she questioned.

"School managing committee needs to play an important role to check dropout. The committee would keep information about the failed students and encourage them and their families to continue studying.

"The main thing we need to find out is the cause behind the failure of the students,” she added.
