SSC centre secretary suspended for mixing up exam questionnaire

Secretary of a Secondary School Certificate examination centre in Chapainawabganj was suspended for taking a test with a wrong set of questionnaire.

Abdul Latif, secretary of the Harimohan Govt. High School SSC exam centre and also the headmaster of the school, was relieved of his duty yesterday.

School sources said the Rajshahi Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board issued a notice in this regard.

Assistant Headmaster of the school, Abdul Aziz, was appointed as the new centre secretary, said Chapainawabganj Nejarat Deputy Collector Ramkrishna Barman.

On February 14, SSC examinees under Rajshahi board sat for the English (compulsory) Second Paper exam with the 278 no ‘Kha’ set questionnaire. However, Abdul Latif of Harimohan school brought the wrong set from the treasury office by mistake.

A total of 1379 students took the test on this set of questionnaire. The mistake was only evident when students tried to match their questions with other schools.  AL welcomes foreign, domestic concerns on violence
