As the country is approaching new normal unlocking successive phases of lockdown, Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examinations are likely to be held in November and December accordingly, in a short time and following short syllabus.
The government is in favour of conducting the SSC and HSC examinations, if the corona pandemic situation is favourable.
This was asserted by Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni, while she was addressing to reporters after inaugurating the new building of Mahamaya Government Primary School in Chandpur Sadar Upazila on Friday. In the meantime, she also said all the schools and colleges of the country will reopen from September 12 following the directive of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, after being closed for almost 18 months due to the Corona pandemic.
