Why the DROP in Pass Rate from 2016 Onwards?
Jessore Board gained infamy in 2016 when it announced results that showed a gigantic pass rate of about 83 percent due to a new evaluation system and easier English papers. In 2017:
That was when the government introduced a more stringent answer‑script standardization approach, which led not only to less band.
Given how apparently easy it was to pass English in 2016, it is no surprise that students struggled with the subject and as a result the pass rate in Jessore plummeted by over 17 percentage points.
So, this is the reason why Pass percentage has dropped in boards because of two reasons – stricter evaluation and poor performance in English.
