Jashore Board shows dip in results for English

A large portion of students failed in English in this year's Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) exams under the Jashore Education Board.

About 90 per cent students passed in all subjects but 68 per cent failed in English.

The overall pass rate also fell compared to last year, causing a significant dip in results.

According to the board authorities, the rise in the failure rate in English has negatively impacted the overall performance of the board.

The results published by Jashore Board show that out of 1 lakh 22 thousands 511 students who appeared for the 2024 HSC exams, only 78, 764 passed, resulting in a pass rate of 64.29%. In comparison, the pass rate in 2023 was 69.88%.

However, the number of students achieving GPA-5 has increased, with 9, 749 students securing the top grade.
