Today’s Junior School Certificate (JSC) and Junior Dakhil Certificate (JDC) examinations have been rescheduled to 2pm from 10am.
The Ministry of Education made the announcement yesterday, which said the scheduled English Paper I test of the JSC and the Bangla Paper I test of the JDC exams had been postponed by four hours due to unavoidable circumstances.
A nationwide half-day hartal is being observed today by Gonojagoron Moncho in protest of the brutal killing of publisher Faisal Arefin Dipan and attacks on another three publisher-writers.
The JSC and JDC examinations began across the country on Sunday and are scheduled to end on November 18.
A total of 2,090,692 students from 27,925 educational institutions are taking this year’s examinations, according to the ministry.
Earlier on Thursday, Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid at a press briefing said the government had taken steps to prevent question paper leak during these exams.
“There is no chance of question paper leak. We have increased surveillance in Bangladesh Government Press so that no employee can take any of the questions out of the press.”
