In an eagerly awaited announcement, the Dhaka Education Board source has confirmed that the results of the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and its equivalent examinations will be unveiled on July 28. This decision was reinforced by Dhaka Education Board Chairman and Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee President, Tapan Kumar Sarkar, during a media briefing on Wednesday.
A staggering total of 20,72,153 students from 11 education boards, comprising nine general boards, one madrasa board, and one technical board, participated in the SSC and equivalent examinations. Despite facing challenging circumstances brought on by the pandemic, the exams were conducted in all subjects with full 100 marks. However, the syllabuses were prudently curtailed due to the limited in-person classes attended by the candidates during the pre-Covid period.
The proposal to shorten the syllabuses was driven by the government’s concern for the student’s well-being and the fair evaluation of their academic performance. With students experiencing reduced opportunities for traditional learning, this decision aimed to level the playing field for all participants.
Originally, the education boards proposed to release the results between July 25 and July 27. However, following careful consideration, the government opted for a unified nationwide announcement on July 28. This decision will ensure that students across the country receive their results simultaneously, maintaining a sense of equality and fairness.
The results of public examinations such as SSC and HSC are typically preceded by a consultation process between education boards and the education ministry. The Prime Minister’s Office also plays a crucial role in finalizing the release date, with the Prime Minister herself inaugurating the publication process.
As the date draws nearer, students, parents, and educators alike eagerly anticipate the results, which will open doors to future academic pursuits and career opportunities for young achievers.
