Secondary and Higher Secondary Education: Short Syllabus and Auto-Pass Have Severely Damaged the Education System
Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the then government awarded an auto-pass in the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) exams in 2020. From 2021 to 2024, Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent exams, as well as HSC and equivalent exams, were conducted based on a shortened syllabus. Most recently, in response to student demands following the July Movement, the interim government granted auto-pass in the postponed 2024 HSC exams. This year’s HSC exams will also be held based on a revised syllabus.
