The Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examinations under the Chattogram Education Board which were postponed due to flood and inclement weather will resume on July 27, said Education Minister Dr. ANM Ehsanul Hoque Milon on Thursday.
A fresh schedule for the postponed examinations is being prepared and will be published soon, he said while talking to reporters at Secretariat.
"We are giving utmost importance to ensuring that no student's education or future is affected due to natural disasters or inclement weather," he said.
The postponed examinations would be completed within the stipulated timeframe while necessary arrangements are also being made for students who could not attend the examinations because of exceptional circumstances, said the minister.
Due to heavy rainfall and flooding, the HSC and equivalent examinations scheduled for July 8 were postponed in five districts under the Chattogram Education Board. As the situation worsened, all examinations were subsequently suspended until 16 July.
Later, the examinations in those five districts under the Chattogram Education Board were postponed indefinitely.
