Recent 2011-2012 exam results confirm that Mon State achieved the highest exam passing percentage in all of Burma. Among Mon State’s townships, Mudon produced the topmost scores for the fifth consecutive year, according to its Education Administration Office.
Of 1,329 registered exam takers in Mudon Township, 964 of them passed the exams for a passing percentage of 71.1%, according to Daw Toe Toe Lwin of Mudon Education Administration Office.
“There was one six-subject distinction, four five-subject distinctions, 44 four-subject distinctions, 41 three-subject distinctions, 51 two-subject distinctions and 207 one-subject distinctions,” she continued.
