No one could pass in three schools in Kurigram in the SSC examination . When the matter became public, it created discussion and criticism throughout the district.

The three schools are: Purba Kumarpur Adarsh High School in Kurigram Sadar Upazila. One candidate from there failed the exam. 11 candidates from Payradanga High School in Nageshwari Upazila failed and 9 candidates from Nazar Mahmud Adarsh High School in Phulbari Upazila failed.

In addition, in several schools in the district, the number of unsuccessful students is higher than successful students.

According to local sources, Purba Kumarpur Adarsh High School in Ghogadaha Union of Kurigram Sadar Upazila was established in 2003 and although it received academic recognition in 2014, the institution is not yet registered with MPO. Currently, the school has 9 teachers.

When contacted to inquire about this, the school's headmaster Md. Riazul Haque's mobile phone was found switched off. No information was available about Payradanga High School in Nageshwari Upazila.

Abu Taleb, headmaster of Nazar Mahmud Adarsh High School in Fulbari Upazila, said, "Although the school was established in 1999, we have received permission to teach ninth and tenth grade students in 2023. This year, 9 students participated in the secondary examination. All of them failed."

He also said that the people living around the school are poor. The candidates were studying alongside working as laborers in different parts of the country including Dhaka. He also said that currently there are four teachers and 185 students in that school.

Kurigram District Education Officer Md. Shafiqul Islam said about the 100% failure rate, "I came to this district a few days ago. I don't know what the situation is in the schools with 100% failure rate. After making an on-site inquiry, the reason why no one passed from the schools will be asked from the headmaster."

It is mentioned that the results published by the board committee on Thursday (July 10) have revealed that in the 2025 Secondary School Certificate and Equivalent Examination, the Dinajpur Education Board has a pass rate of 67 percent and a fail rate of 33 percent.
