HSC, equivalent exams for July 21, 23, 25 postponed

The HSC and equivalent examinations of all education boards scheduled for July 21, 23, and 25 have been postponed.

The schedule for the postponed examinations will be notified later.

The development was communicated through a notification signed by Prof Tapan Kumar Sarkar, chairman of the Bangladesh Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee and chairman of the Dhaka Education Board.

Other examinations will be held as per the previously announced schedule from July 28, the notification said.

The HSC and equivalent examinations scheduled for today were also postponed earlier.

Earlier, all public and private universities had already been declared closed due to the situation surrounding the quota movement.

Additionally, all secondary and higher secondary level educational institutions (schools, colleges, madrasas, and technical institutions) under the Ministry of Education, polytechnic institutes, and all primary schools in city corporation areas have been declared closed until further notice.

Clashes have been taking place in different parts of the country for several days regarding the movement demanding reform of the quota system in government jobs.
