Among the six districts under the Barishal Education Board, Pirojpur has once again come top in the HSC pass rate, as it did last year. This emerged from an analysis of the 2026 HSC results published yesterday, Saturday.
According to the district education office, Pirojpur’s HSC pass rate this year is 51.55 per cent, with 66 examinees obtaining GPA-5. However, the district’s pass rate has fallen significantly this year compared with the past few years. Not a single examinee passed from two educational institutions in the district.
The district education office said there were 7,098 examinees in total this year, of whom 6,782 sat the exams. A total of 3,496 passed and 66 obtained GPA-5. Overall, the district’s pass rate is 51.55 per cent.
District Education Officer Md Idris Ali Azizi told BSS that Pirojpur’s HSC examinees did well thanks to regular monitoring by the education office, students’ regular study, teachers’ dedicated teaching and the cooperation of guardians.
Sources said no examinee passed from Dighirjan Secondary School and College in Nazirpur upazila and Kadamtala George High School and College in Pirojpur Sadar upazila. Of the eight examinees at these two institutions, seven sat the exams, and none of them passed.
District Education Officer Md Idris Ali Azizi said it will be investigated whether there was any negligence by teachers at the two institutions where all students failed, and necessary action will be taken.
