The results of the Secondary Education Examination (SEE) 2024 (2080 BS) published on Thursday last week have once again shown how Nepal’s education sector was mired by politics. As many teachers are the activists of the political parties, they do not attend schools regularly, which has resulted in poor results.
According to the results published by the National Examination Board (NEB), only 47.86 per cent of students passed the exams this year. It means more students failed the exams.
By breaking the past practice of allowing the students to enrol on grade 11 even if they scored low grades, this year, the NEB published the results by mentioning non-graded in the mark sheet and the NG students will not be allowed to enrol grade 11 unless they produce better results in the upgrading examination scheduled for next month.
Since 2014, the NEB has been publishing the results in a grading system. But this year, the SEE results were published as per the Letter Grading Guidelines- 2078 BS, according to which those who got non-graded are prevented from enrolling in grade 11.
According to the results, of 464,785 examinees, a total of 242,313 failed or got none-grade (NG).
This year, 231,503 female and 233,270 male students appeared in the SEE. Of them, 114,048 males and 128,257 females failed the SEE.
According to the board, six students got 1.60 to 2 GPA. Similarly, 2,950 students got GPA 2 to 2.40, 41477 students got GPA 2.40 to 2.80, 78,874 students got GPA 2.80 to 3.20 and 68,256 students got GPA 3.20 to 3.60.
Likewise, 31,209 students scored from 3.60 to 4 while 186 students got 4 GPA.
According to the results, 47.87 per cent of the examinees passed while 52.13 per cent failed.
According to the results, 39,895 of 75,988 candidates from Koshi Province failed the SEE. Similarly, 42,286 out of 79,592 examinees from Madhes Province and 33,842 out of 99,872 examinees from Bagmati Province have failed.
Similarly, out of 40,526 examinees from Gandaki Province, 20,275 students have failed and out of 80,327 from Lumbini Province, 49,224 students failed the key exam.
Likewise, out of 35,034 examinees from Karnali, 20,380 students failed and out of 53,446 from Sudurpashchim, 36, 410 failed.
Upgrade examination
Meanwhile, the grade upgrade exam of SEE is going to be held on August 2 and 3. According to the results released today, 242,000 students have got NG, and all of them will sit in the upgrade examination. Initially, only 15,834 students were said to be eligible to sit in the upgrade examination. However, the Education Minister decided to allow all to appear in the upgrade exam.
