Minister congratulates successful students

Education Minister Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui congratulated the students who achieved top positions. He wished them success in their future education and professional careers.

The minister praised the strong performance of female students and said their success was a positive sign for Pakistan. He also stressed the need to improve education standards and modernise the education system so Pakistani students can compete internationally.

Education ministry officials, board representatives, teachers, parents and students attended the results ceremony. The strong female performance was one of the main highlights of this year’s FBISE results.

The results show a clear improvement in the performance of female students across several major groups. Their success in Pre-Engineering and Commerce is especially notable because girls captured all three top positions in both groups.

The high HSSC-II pass rate also shows that most second-year students successfully completed their examinations. At the same time, the lower HSSC-I pass rate highlights the need for stronger academic support for first-year students.
