The Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent examinations of 2023 under 11 education boards will begin across the country today (Sunday), reports BSS.
All necessary measures were taken to hold the exams smoothly, said Education Minister Dipu Moni at a programme in Bhola on Saturday.
Noting that there is no scope of question leak this year, she said stern action would be taken against persons, if found involved in such activities.
A total of 20,72,153 students under the 11 education boards -- nine general, one madrasa and one technical -- will appear in this year's examinations.
All coaching centres across the country have been declared closed from April 26 to May 23 on the occasion of the exams.
This year, the exams also be held for all subjects with full 100 marks each but on curtailed syllabuses. The decision to shorten the syllabuses was made considering the fact that the candidates of these public exams attended fewer in-person classes compared to the pre-Covid period.
The examinees have, however, been directed to enter the centres 30 minutes prior to beginning of the examinations. Center secretary will be informed about the question code just 25 minutes before beginning of the examinations.
