An education official said that on October 15, the results of the Higher Secondary Certificate and comparable exams, which were suspended midway due to demonstrations by the Anti-discrimination Student Movement, will be made public.

“The HSC results will be published at 11am on Oct 15,” Prof Tapan Kumar Sarkar, president of the Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee and chairman of the Dhaka Education Board, informed Morning Herald on Monday.

Exams were taken for seven courses, but due to the violence surrounding the protests, they were postponed in the middle, leaving more than 1.45 million students still waiting for their results. For these students, the wait is about to end.

Later thereafter, the education ministry declared that the remaining tests will not be administered in response to demands from certain pupils.

Prof Sarkar stated to media that the assessment for subjects with conducted exams will be based on exam scripts, while those without exams will be evaluated through subject mapping of SSC numbers. The HSC and equivalent exams for 10 education boards commenced on Jun 30, but the exams for Sylhet Education Board were postponed to Jul 9 due to flooding in the region.

Following the completion of seven tests, educational institutions were indefinitely closed on Jul 16 in response to the escalating violence related to the quota reform movement. Initially scheduled for Jul 18, the HSC and equivalent exam was also postponed.

As the situation deteriorated further, the Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee deferred all higher secondary exams until Aug 1.

If conditions improved, the HSC and equivalent exams were initially set to resume on Aug 4 according to the announced schedule. However, these exams were later postponed again.

The postponed exams were then slated to start on Sept 11, with a new schedule released by the authorities.

However, many students, uninterested in taking the exams, participated in protests.

Ultimately, the interim government decided to postpone the exams by two weeks, with an abridged question paper.

On Aug 20, over 500 candidates stormed the Secretariat, demanding the cancellation of the exams and refusing to participate.

That same day, the government acquiesced to their demands and announced that the remaining exams would not be held.
