Even in Nepal, many students committed suicide every year when they failed the SLC (School Leaving Certificate) exam. Since a few years ago the education board changed the grading system from percentage based to grade based. Previously the results would be published on a national daily, and only the symbol number of students who passed the exam would appear. AKA public humiliation of children of the age 14-17 mostly. Now the system has changed; no student fails, they only obtain certain grade. If (s)he would like to increase their grades in certain subject they can re-appear the exam and increase their grades. This has been a successful change, saving probably hundreds of innocent lives.
