Students from private institutions recorded a pass percentage of 68.87%, compared with 36.45% for government schools. This gave private schools a lead of 32.42 percentage points.
Government vs Private Schools
| Institution category | Appeared | Passed | Pass rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Government schools | 47,685 | 17,383 | 36.45% |
| Private schools | 20,212 | 13,920 | 68.87% |
Government schools produced more successful candidates because they had over twice as many students. However, private institutions performed considerably better based on the percentage of candidates who passed.
Nearly seven out of every 10 private-school students passed the examination. The corresponding figure for government schools was fewer than four out of 10.

What the Comparison Shows
The official figures indicate that private institutions dominated the result in terms of pass percentage. They led government schools across all three districts and among both boys and girls.
However, the gazette does not explain the reasons behind the difference. Student intake, attendance, school resources, location and the number of candidates enrolled may affect institutional results.
The figures should therefore be viewed as an examination-performance comparison rather than a complete measure of education quality.
