The results for the public exams taken by fifth-graders at schools and madrasas have been published.
The success rate for this year's Primary Education Completion (PEC) exams for school students stands at 95.18 per cent while 92.94 per cent madrasa-goers cleared the Ebtedayee exams.
The PEC and Ebtedayee primary school completion exams were taken by 3,096,075 students at 7,267 exam centres between November 19 and November 26.
Success rate for the PEC exams fell from previous year's 98.51 per cent. The case for the Ebtedayee exams is also similar—dropping from last year’s 95.85 per cent.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina published the results on Saturday at the Ganabhaban after Primary and Mass Education Minister Mostafizur Rahman handed over it to her.
The minister will presented the details and certain aspects of the results at a media call in his office later. Individual results will be available to students afterwards at their institutions.
Students will be able to get the results through text messages.
A primary student will have to type ‘DPE<space>Upazila code<space>roll number<space>2017’ and send the message to 16222 to get the result in a return SMS.
Ebtedayee students will have to type ‘EBT’ in place of ‘DPE’.
The codes, according to bdnews24, are available on the DPE (directorate of primary education) website, and at the schools and local education department offices.
The first five digits of the government or private primary school’s EMIS code will have to be used as the Upazila/Thana code. The EMIS code can be found at the Primary Education Department’s website, the district’s Primary Education Office, the Upazila/Thana Education Office and the Primary School.
Results will be also available on the websites of the DPE, state-owned mobile phone operator Teletalk.
