Refund extra SSC fees, DC tells Ctg schools

Chittagong authority has directed all schools in the area to refund extra fees charged from students for registration of this year’s Secondary School Certificate tests.

District’s Deputy Commissioner Mezbah Uddin issued the order in a meeting with headmasters of around 150 institutions under local board today.

The instruction came upon complaints submitted by guardians and students, the DC told the meeting, reports our Chittagong correspondent.

Students and guardians alleged that schools in Chittagong charged four to five times more for form fill-up of the SSC examination registration.
