The Education Ministry is working toward publishing the results of this year’s HSC (Higher Secondary Certificate) and equivalent examinations within this week, by December 31.
Officials said work was now underway to finalize the related proposals and policies, and that the ministry would ask the education boards around the country to publish the results once they were ready, reports Bangla Tribune.
Prof Nehal Ahmed, president, Inter-Education Board Coordination Subcommittee, told Bangla Tribune: “The education minister has already said that the results will be published by December last week and we are working with that goal in mind.”
Nehal Ahmed, who is also the chairman of the Dhaka Education Board, said the national advisory committee on the matter was also working with them on this. “Work is underway to at least have the results published on the last day of December.”
