Academic Grading System in Bangladesh

Academic Grading System in Bangladesh

There was a revolutionary change in the result of SSC (Secondary School Certificate) and HSC (Higher School Certificate) after introducing of Grading System. It was 2001, when first grading system is introduced in SSC result. The no. of Highest grades(A+) was very limited. In that time, only one student got GPA 5.0 (A+) from Comilla board. In 2003 grading system was introduced in HSC level. The revolution after 8 years of existence has created a lot of question regarding its effectivity. As almost all the students get GPA 5 and there is no way to know their achieved marks, it is plain impossible to judge their calibre. Now there is actually no point in working hard for exams. Because you can easily get an A+ by getting 80, so why try for 90 or above?
