She said, “We have taken all out measures to stop the leak of question papers. This year, we have printed about 2,790 sets question papers so that no one can leak the question papers. So, you don’t need to pay any heed to rumour regarding question paper leak. ”
The education minister said this while addressing a press briefing after inspecting Tejgaon Government Girls’ High School SSC examination centre in the capital.
Education Minister said, “There will have no political impact in SSC and equivalent examinations. The minister urged all political parties and individuals to abstain from violent activities and strikes during the examinations.
A number of students did not receive their admit cards due to the negligence of the educational institutes, said Dipu Moni. Students submitted the ‘registration fees’ but never got ‘registered’ properly, she said, adding that there were many such cases.

The minister then urged the media to provide information on irregularities in educational institutes.
“We will probe each of those institutes and take necessary action,” she said.
