Secondary School Certificate exams were held last year before the coronavirus struck Bangladesh, but the government had to scrap all other public exams at schools and colleges.

This year, the SSC exams will be held in November and Higher Secondary Certificate tests in December.

“We are ready as the SSC and HSC exams are nearing. But we don’t think we will have the opportunity to hold the JSC exams,” Education Minister Dipu Moni said on Tuesday at an event in Dhaka.

She said students of Class VIII will be evaluated by the end of the year like other classes. “But it won’t be like JSC.”
