Decision on PEC exams to be taken 3 months before schedule: Zakir

The Final decision regarding Primary Education Completion (PEC) of this year and its equivalent examinations will be informed three months before the schedule, said State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Zakir Hossain on Thursday.

“Decision has not been taken yet over the PEC examinations. The final decision will be taken three months before November, said the state minister at a press briefing held at the Secretariat.

Schools remained closed for more than two years due to the Covid pandemic and steps have been taken to recover the learning losses, he said.

“After recovering all losses, we can take any decision over the PEC examinations,” the minister said.

“Usually, the PEC examinations are held in November and we will let you know three months before November,” said Zakir.

Replying to a question about any decision to cancel the PEC examination, the minister said according to the new curriculum there is no system for holding such exams and decisions will be taken after a discussion with the education experts.
