No exams for Class VI, VII students

The Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education said that no conventional test or model test can be taken to evaluate the students of class VI and VII.

The students of these two classes will be evaluated according to the guidelines of the National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) and the guidelines will be reached to the schools later.

The DSHE issued a notification signed by its Director (secondary) Prof Belal Ahmed on Monday in this regard.

According to the order, the students of class VI and VII will have to follow the approaches of the teacher’s guide and curriculum prepared by the NCTB for learning-teaching and evaluation activities.

It also said teachers, heads of institutions, upazila academic supervisers, upazila or thana secondary

education officers, district education officers, and other concerned should strengthen regular monitoring in implementing the new curriculum.

The government introduced new curriculum in January, this year, for the students of sixth and seventh grades and the students have been taught as per the new curriculum.
