Education Adviser Professor Dr Chowdhury Rafiqul Abrar has said that efforts are underway to allow an HSC examinee to take her exam, as she was unable to attend on the first day due to a delay in taking her sick mother to the hospital on Thursday.
This year's Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent examinations began on Thursday.
The media reported that a student from the capital's Government Mirpur Bangla College centre was unable to take part in the exam on the first day due to the delay in taking her ill mother to the hospital.
The matter has come to the attention of the authorities, said a statement issued by the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing on Friday morning.
Regarding the matter, CR Abrar said: "The issue of that student is being considered seriously on humanitarian grounds. Efforts are being made to resolve the issue of taking the Bangla first paper exam in light of the laws and rules related to conducting public examinations."
