BDnews24 Report:
“We have published the routine and the exams will be held
accordingly, without any change,” he told bdnews24.com on Monday and
urged examinees not to feel worried and plan accordingly.
The
BNP-led 20-party has been enforcing countrywide transport blockade since
Jan 5 demanding snap polls under a non-partisan government.
The ministry had earlier decided to hold secondary school (SSC) and equivalent exams through the blockade and refrain only if there were shutdowns.
Despite repeated calls from teachers, parents and students to refrain from pursuing political agitation during the exams, BNP decided to continue with it. Since February the party started having shutdowns on all weekdays.
All 368 exams had to be rescheduled to weekends due to that -- exams set to finish on Mar 11 will now continue into the first week of April.
After the shutdowns have lingered for over two and a half months, it now has little effect on daily lives, claimed the minister.
“Classes are going on in all schools and colleges, traffic jams are now regular despite blockade-shutdowns,” Nahid said.
“There are only some sporadic bombings at some places, we cannot stop for that.”
The theoretical part of HSC and equivalent exams are set to start from Apr 1 and end on June 11.
Although the BNP-led coalition has declared to continue with their agitation, their participation in the Dhaka and Chittagong city polls to be held on Apr 28 is still possible.
Exams of 37 subjects in SSC and 41 in HSC were rescheduled due to BNP-Jamaat-e-Islami coalition’s shutdowns in 2013. 17 exams of JSC and JDC level and two exams of primary and Ebtadayee exams were also postponed.
A number of these exams were postponed last year also due to BNP shutdowns.
