A student who had not appeared in the Primary School Scholarship Examination held in 2022 got a scholarship under the general grade in Kurigram.
Sajeeb Ali is a student of Char Gorok Mondol Govt Primary School in Phulbari upazila.
Upazila education office sources said the student filled out the form for appearing in the exam but was absent.
His name was found on the general scholarship recipients' list after the results were published on Tuesday.
This year, 44 and 37 students received scholarships under the talent pool and general grade respectively in the upazila.
The student, along with two others, did not sit for the examination, said Shafiqul Alam, the acting headmaster of Char Gorok Mondol Govt Primary School.
Ashrafuzzaman, assistant upazila education officer, said he is aware of the matter.
“The headmaster of his school confirmed that he did not sit for the test. We will investigate how this happened,” he said.
Shahidul Islam, district primary education officer, said they will investigate the matter if his name is not found on the list sent by the upazila office.
