The Bhutan Council for School Examinations and Assessment declared the results of the Bhutan Higher Secondary Education Certificate for the class XII examination and class VIII for the academic year 2022, today. The overall pass percentage for class XII stands at 87.80 per cent, an increase of more than five per cent from the previous year.

“First of all, I would like to offer the glory to Kenchosum, and most importantly to Their Majesties, the Fourth Druk Gyalpo and His Majesty The King, and also Her Majesty the Gyaltsuen. I would also like to express my gratefulness to my parents and teachers and school management. I would also be thankful to my friends and relatives who have always been by my side when I always needed them,” said Jamyang Kinley Pema, Arts Topper, Motithang HSS.

“The result has been a very pleasant surprise. This would never have been possible without the immense support from my teachers, family and friends. Thank you so much for pushing me through the hard times. I would like to extend my heartiest facilitations to all the national toppers and everyone who got through this year,” said Pema Deki Yangden, Second Topper, Science Stream, Jakar HSS.

Likewise, Pema Zangmo from Wamrong Lower Secondary School topped the Class VIII board exams with 94.18 per cent.
