Cover Story

Some call them English-speaking brats. And to some they are a bunch of snobs, absolutely oblivious of the world around them. But lately English medium students have been bringing remarkably good results to a country otherwise famous for its question paper scams and corruption. In fact this year in the Ordinary Level Exam two Bangladeshi students have scored the highest marks in the world in two core subjects, and 454 more got more than six As. SWM takes a close look at the reasons behind their success: Are the schools doing their job properly? Or are there other factors at work?
