male students' pass percentage is 69.70.
However, male GPA-5 achievers by far outnumbered the females, the numbers being 1913 and 1520 respectively.
Talking with this correspondent, the students and parents said political turmoil, especially hartals during the HSC examinations this year, affected the results.
Md Tofazzur Rahman, controller of examinations of Dinajpur Education Board, said, "This year the education ministry introduced creative question system for chemistry, civics and business policy subjects for the first time. It is a key reason for pass rate fall. ”
"As many as 15,000 students under Dinajpur board failed in chemistry," added the official.
Under the board, the pass percentages were 55.90 in
2009, 67.54 in 2010, 66.18 in 2011 and 75.41 in 2012.
Our Jessore Correspondent adds: 67.49 percent students under Jessore Education Board passed the HSC examinations this year, the pass rate being a little less than the last year's 67.87 percent.
The number of GPA-5 achievers also fell. This year four thousand 740 students got GPA-5 while the number was five thousand 229 last year.
The pass rate in Jessore board remains much lower compared to other boards as the average pass rate of the country is 74.30 percent.
Abu Daud, controller of examinations of Jessore Board, said, "The examinations had to be rescheduled 10 times due to the hartals enforced by the political parties. It affected the students' attention to study. The newly introduced cre-
ative question system also acted behind slight fall in results."
