some schools here are saying that we do got rates in board exam is that we only have few graduates. as for w those are only the one's who are qualified to graduate. the problem with some institutions is that they allow students to graduate although these students are not yet ready. i mean they go for quantity but our school go for quality. premeir universities i beleive are into these nature. quality is entirely different to quantity. commercialization of education as some say, if we want higher rates then go for what is appopriate. no matter how many students a school produce annually if these students are merely graduates out of carelessness then we are merely projecting a problem with country's manpower. right?do you experience what i've said?

Well statistics are very easy to manipulate, so I wouldn't take too much stock in them if I were you. When applying to colleges you should make sure to point out your schools strengths (such as what you've mentioned) and if you're lucky, you prospective college will already know the situation at your school and look on you favorably for achieving what you have. American schools, in general, are far too entrenched in the statistics, and to use your very own words, comercialization of education. The focus should be on pushing out qualified students who can succeed at the next level of their life, whether it be school or work.
