Cadet colleges, which usually top the merit list of the education boards in all public examinations, showed a different performance in this year’s Junior School Certificate examinations.
This year only Jhenaidah Cadet College, Barisal Cadet College and Sylhet Cadet College had made to the top three lists of all education boards.
However, Pabna Cadet College, Rajshahi Cadet College, Rangpur Cadet College, Faujdarhat Cadet College, Comilla Cadet College, Mymensingh Girls’ Cadet College, Feni Girls’ Cadet College and Joypurhat Girls’ Cadet College secured 100% GPA 5, but that was not enough to enlist them in the top chart.
When asked, Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid said the education ministry was working to eliminate disparity in the education sector, adding that the fact that there was a competition among the schools in topping the list was a proof that the initiatives were working.
While preparing the top chart, five aspects – rate of regular students, pass rate, rate of GPA 5, total examinee and average GPA of the institution – are considered.
