The government on Tuesday directed to cancel 'O' level and 'A' level examinations under the Cambridge board for 2020-21 session citing the worsening Covid-19 situation in the country.
The examinations were scheduled to begin in April this year.
The Education Ministry issued a notice in this regard on Tuesday, reports UNB.
It requested the British Council not to hold the 'O' level and 'A' level examinations, as many foreign countries including UK, also decided to halt the exams.
