This year’s Higher Secondary Certificate and equivalent examinations will begin on 17 August.

The routine of the HSC examinations was published on Thursday.

Professor Tapan Kumar Sarkar, chairman of the Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board of Dhaka, told Prothom Alo on Thursday.

All education boards submitted a proposal to the education ministry to start the HSC examination from 17 August.

Earlier, the education minister Dipu Moni said she hopes the HSC examination will begin in the middle of August.

The officials of Dhaka education board told Prothom Alo that they backtracked from their decision to take the HSC examination in the second week of July. As per the new plan, the exam will begin in August.

The educationists and the guardians expressed their concern when the plan to take the examination in the second week of July was made as some educational institutions are yet to finish their syllabus.
