The government has postponed the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent examinations of Sunday and Monday under six education boards due to the very severe cyclonic storm Mocha, which is now heading towards the coastal areas.
The Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee on Saturday gave this directive in an office order signed by its Chairman Prof Tapan Kumar Sarkar. On Friday, the committee only postponed the examinations of Sunday under five education boards.
As per the new office order, the SSC and equivalent exams under the four general boards – Chattogram, Cumilla, Barishal, Jashore, and Bangladesh Madrasah Education Board and Bangladesh Technical Education Board have been postponed.
The revised schedule of the postponed examinations will be announced later, it reads.
However, examinations of other boards will be held as per the schedule on Sunday and Monday.
The very severe weather system over the Bay of Bengal is likely to hit Cox’s Bazar-north Myanmar coast on Sunday.
