The English second paper examination of Higher Secondary Certificate under Dhaka board, set to be held on Thursday, has been postponed following allegation of question leak.
No new date has been fixed while schedule of other exams have remained unchanged.
The authorities did not admit the allegation, rather mentioned that the reason was “unavoidable.” But several examinees told the Dhaka Tribune that they had seen the question paper through mobile messages on Wednesday evening which spread within a very short time.
Taslima Begum, chairman of the Dhaka Education Board, told the Dhaka tribune: “The English second paper examination of Dhaka board has been postponed for an unavoidable reason. The new schedule will be fixed later.” The HSC and equivalent examinations began across the country on April 3.
Some examinees and parents told the Dhaka Tribune that they had got question papers of all the three previous exams through mobile messages, a day before the scheduled dates. But Taslima Begum denied the allegation. She said: “We also heard about the leak during the previous examinations, but we did not find any proof.”
On April 3, the HSC and equivalent examinations have begun across the country.
A total of 1,141,374 students from 8,104 educational institutions of the country have appeared for this year examination. Of the total examinees, 6,06,293 are males and 5,35,081 females.
