SSC examination results

We note that among the top ten GPA-5 scoring insti-tutions, six are located in the capital, two in Chittagong and two in Comilla. And once again Viqarunnessa Noon School in Dhaka did brilliantly with 591 students secur-ing GPA 5. That is the highest number secured by any school, and we congratulate the school authorities for keeping up the good show. Close on the heels is Ideal School and College with 525 students obtaining the same grade point. In Chittagong, 297 students of Dou-ble Mooring Collegiate School got GPA 5 while in Co-milla Zila School 271 got the same grade.

From the overall statistics emanating from the results it appears that boys have done comparatively better this year. The other positive aspect of this year's SSC examination is strict control of widespread copying in the examination centres. But, we also note with con-cern that a large percentage of examinees failed to cross the hurdle. The authorities concerned will have to look into the matter and extend special care to these stu-dents so that they may become successful next year.

We may conclude by saying that the SSC results this year further substantiates the fact that if one remains steadfast in pursuing the goal then success cannot re-main elusive for long. There is no alternative to hard work. Today's successful students will face even bigger challenges from here on. We wish them all the best in their journey.
