SSC, HSC exams likely to be delayed in 2021: Dipu Moni

Education Minister Dipu Moni has said Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examinations of 2021 may be delayed by two months from the usual schedule so that examinees can complete syllabuses before the exams.

Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni disclosed the matter at a virtual press briefing on Wednesday.

Authorities concerned are set to arrange classes for the students on a shortened syllabus for three months before the exams, she said.

The results of this year’s HSC exams will be published by December 2020, Dr Dipu Moni added.

The government announced general holidays in late March in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak and shut all the educational institutions. The closure since then has been extended in several phases.
