Mojar School’s first SSC batch sees 92 percent pass rate

After 14 years of its journey, Mojar School’s students appeared in the SSC examination for the first time in 2026, with 92 percent of the 20 candidates successfully passing.

Founded in 2013, Mojar School began its journey with children from disadvantaged backgrounds. For many of them, regular schooling – and even the possibility of appearing in a public examination – once seemed like an impossible dream.

This first SSC result is, therefore, more than a statistic. It represents 14 years of sustained commitment, perseverance, and collective effort by students, teachers, families, donors, sponsors, partners, and well-wishers. Notably, 72 percent of the students from the first cohort were girls.

The Maniknagar branch, which has received support from United Trust for the past nine years, achieved an impressive result, with 11 of 12 students passing. The Agargaon branch saw three out of eight candidates passing the exams.

Mojar School's broader goal is to build a Bangladesh without street-connected children by creating pathways to education, skills development, and employment. As part of this effort, Crowne Plaza Dhaka Gulshan has created employment opportunities for two Mojar School students.

Founder Arian Arif congratulated the students and expressed gratitude to the teachers, parents, advisers, donors, sponsors, partner organisations, and countless supporters who have contributed to this journey. He particularly acknowledged United Trust for its long-term support and Crowne Plaza Dhaka Gulshan for creating employment opportunities for students.

As an adviser to Mojar School, Tajdin Hassan, Chief Business Officer at The Daily Star, also congratulated the first SSC cohort and everyone who has supported the organisation throughout its 14-year journey.

The 92 percent pass rate is the beginning of a new chapter. It is a powerful reminder that when disadvantaged children are given sustained access to quality education and support, they too can overcome barriers, pursue higher education, enter the workforce, and build better futures for themselves and their families.
