publicity must not be given to this type of unfortunate incidents.
because others too might try this to become popular.
these innocent students are still minors

Very sad.
There are greater things than passing exams.
That child continuing to live with the family was far more important that her passing the exam as her parents would realise now.
It is good to pass an exam but if one fails people around should provide moral support.

This is really sad. Never heard these things in the past. Parents and teachers also responsible for this type tragedy. Dont ever ask your kids to bring only 'A' s home. Most of the teachers dont know basic psychology.

If they could concentrate the GUTS (which they use to attempt suicide) in facing life, they might become a successor in the future. remember, we won't be able to some great inventions and some great world leaders if they committed suicide for the failures they had in their life's.

In 1958 when the then SSC results were out and I had failed, my father's words to me were "failures are the pillars of success". This gave me encouragement. I put in more work and succeeded the second time. A word to parents, please do not scold or punish your children for failing, but be a source of encouragement to them.

Private universities with good standard are welcome but medical colleges without proper standards and no facility for clinical and professorial units are not accepted. Especially when the government is giving them recognition as state medical colleges. Foreign medical graduate also has to sit for a licensing exam (Act 16) but SAITM medical students are just given the degree without sitting for the Act 16 exam.

what a sad story :( exams were always a nightmare, but i think she might have been suffering from depression. In SL these kind of illnesses arent recognised and treated properly.

This is one of the defficiencies in our education system as well as the thinking pattern of parents. There are millions of people who failed in school but succeeded in their lives. We must convey this message to the society.

Not the first time this was occurred exactly because of the Exam pressure.. Even my best friend in O/L class hanged himself, after getting a "C" for just a single subject (while having the best results for all the other subjects).. One major problem here is, there are no sufficient alternatives such as technical colleges, etc for those who fail the exams. Also, those who get relatively less marks, while passing the exams, are deserving graduate studies.. Therefore, country needs private Universities immediately. Government was making a big hullabaloo few months ago, but now it seems they are not more interested in it..

it is the society that failed to support those children who have some difficulties in academic success.

Agreed, Just because someone doesn't succeed academically does not mean they are a failure in life. And there's much more to life than having some letter printed on a paper.
