Mardan Board Results Raise Fresh Concerns Over School Performance
Several Mardan Schools Record Extremely Low Pass Rates in Exams
MARDAN: (Staff Reporter) – The latest results of the Mardan Board have raised fresh concerns over academic performance, with several schools recording exceptionally low pass rates among their students.
According to details, the results show that many schools struggled to ensure that at least half of their students successfully completed the examinations. The figures have renewed concerns over educational standards following similar questions surrounding student performance under the Peshawar Board.
The Class 9 results were particularly concerning. Several schools reportedly recorded extremely low pass rates, while some institutions failed to produce a single successful candidate.
At Government High School Takai in Swabi, all 13 students who appeared for the examination reportedly failed. Similarly, none of the students from Government College High School Dagai reportedly passed.
Other institutions also recorded very poor results. At Government High School Khawrai and Darwazgai in Nowshera, only one student from each school reportedly passed. Meanwhile, all eight students from Government High School Mazahund Gadun in Swabi reportedly failed.
Failure rates varied considerably across schools, with some institutions reporting failure rates as high as 89 percent and others around 76 percent. Several schools also had students who failed to achieve even 50 percent marks.
The poor performance was also reported at girls’ institutions. At Government Girls High School Mohib Banda, only three of 59 Class 9 students reportedly passed. Meanwhile, Government Girls Higher Secondary School Akora Khattak in Nowshera recorded a reported 94 percent failure rate, with just two of 33 students passing.
The Class 10 results have also prompted concern. Nine of the 10 schools highlighted in the reported results had fewer than half of their students passing. While some students reportedly failed one subject, others were unsuccessful in multiple subjects.
At Government Higher Secondary School Mohabbat Khan in Mardan, only one of 27 students reportedly passed, securing a C grade.
The results have once again highlighted concerns over educational outcomes, prompting questions about teaching standards, student preparation and the overall quality of education in government schools.
