The education ministry is going to disclose what they are mulling over the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSC) examinations that deferred owing to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Education minister Dipu Moni will announce the decision on the assessment of SSC and HSC candidates this year in a virtual meeting on Thursday, said a release from education ministry.

Sources at the education ministry told Prothom Alo that education boards do not want to automatically promote students to the next level. So, this year, the government is trying to assess the students’ merit in an alternative way in lieu of auto-promotion.
