SEE 2081 Results Show Weak Performance in Saptari
The SEE 2081 results have painted a troubling picture of the education system in Saptari. Only 35.39% of students who appeared from the district were graded, which clearly reflects serious gaps in learning outcomes.
Over 8,000 Students Took the Exam
A total of 8,444 students from 144 schools in Saptari sat for the SEE exam this year. These schools included:
-
92 community schools
-
52 institutional schools
Out of these, only 2,869 students received a grade. The remaining 5,238 students couldn’t secure any grade at all, placing them in the non-graded (NG) category.
Majority of Students Ungraded
According to Kamalnath Yadav, Section Officer at the Education Development and Coordination Unit, the number of ungraded students is alarmingly high. Here's a breakdown of those who passed:
-
GPA 3.60–4.00: 274 students
-
GPA 3.20–3.60: 769 students
-
GPA 2.80–3.20: 1,157 students
-
GPA 2.40–2.80: 643 students
-
GPA 2.00–2.40: 26 students
This means that more than 6 out of 10 students did not get any GPA score.
Saptari Trails Behind Other Districts
Shashi Yadav, Head of the Coordination Unit, said Saptari’s grading percentage is one of the lowest when compared to national and district averages.
He emphasized the need for all stakeholders—students, parents, teachers, and local authorities—to reflect on this outcome and work towards improving both teaching quality and the examination evaluation system.
A Fair but Disappointing Result
He also added that since the exam process was more disciplined and transparent this year, the lower number of graded students might be a reflection of more honest assessments. "In that sense, the result is fair—but far from satisfactory," he said.
Local Educators Urge Immediate Action
Parshuram Yadav, Provincial Chairperson of the Nepal Teachers’ Union and Principal of Kanchhu Narpratap Secondary School, expressed disappointment with the overall result.
He raised concerns over the consistent decline in the number of graded students and urged policymakers to analyze results from local-level Class 8 exams. Based on this, he emphasized the urgent need to revise strategies to ensure better-quality education for all students in Saptari.
