Tuesday, 15 July 2008


'Secretarial Science and Office Management' subject has been omitted from the higher secondary-level curricula in general and madrasa education with effect from 2009-10 academic session, an official announcement said Monday, reports UNB.

The caretaker government (CG) took the step as a part of a recipe for updating the country's outmoded education system in keeping with demand of the time at home and abroad.

"The decision was taken as per recommendations of the National Curriculum Coordination Committee to make students interested in more important subjects in consistency with the global demand and to improve the standard of education at higher secondary level," says the announcement.

Students registered in this subject would get the scope for completing their education, it said.

If any registered student failed in the subject at the public examinations, they would be allowed to take part in the exams till his/her registration remains effective as per the existing rules.
