Mandalay Region achieved the country’s highest pass rate in the 2026 matriculation examination, with 28,393 of 45,635 candidates passing, giving the region an overall success rate of 62.22 percent.
Students
gathered at examination centres across Mandalay from 6 am yesterday to check
their results, while teachers assisted with the orderly release of the results.
Dr Than Htike
Soe, headmaster of No 16 Basic Education High School, said the school’s pass
rate had improved by about five percentage points compared with last year,
while the number of students gaining five distinctions had risen from one to
four.
“Both our
pass rate and the number of distinction winners increased. It reflects the hard
work of our teachers and students,” he said. The nation’s highest-scoring
student, Ma Thiri Soe, who earned distinctions in all six subjects, said her
success was built on consistent daily study and repeated practice using past
examination papers.
“I worked
hard but never expected to finish first. If you keep trying, you can achieve
your goals,” she said.
National
second-place student Maung Sithu Bo also credited his achievement to the
support of his teachers and parents.
“Regular
practice was the key. This success is not mine alone but the result of everyone
who supported me,” he said.
Several other
top performers echoed the importance of steady preparation rather than
last-minute revision, encouraging future candidates to study consistently
throughout the academic year. Meanwhile, all 10 candidates who sat the
examination at Mandalay Central Prison passed, with four earning distinctions
in three subjects, five gaining distinctions in two subjects and one receiving
a distinction in one subject.
