63 of the 69 young women who took comprehensive exams passed and graduated high school!

We are thrilled to report that 63 of the 69 young women across our GEP who recently took their comprehensive exams after 12th grade received passing marks, and graduated from high school! This 91% success rate exceeds the Bangladesh national rate of 85%, and was accomplished by young women from families in which no mothers ever finished high school. They will be the first in their families to pursue a higher education. Our staff are working with the remaining six so they can make a second attempt. We celebrate these motivated and empowered young women of the GEP who are creating a new path for girls and women in Bangladesh, which many others will follow.
