SSC examinations to begin June 19 after a four-month delay

The government has announced the schedule for the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent examinations, which will start on June 19 after a four-month delay due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The written assessments will be held from 10 am to 12 pm, according to the schedule published on the websites of education boards on Wednesday, reports bdnews24.com.

This year's examinations will kick off with the Bangla first paper on June 19 followed by the Bangla second paper on June 20.

Students will sit for the English first paper on June 22 and the second paper on June 25. The Mathematics exam will be held on June 27.

The written exams for Home Science and Agriculture Studies, Music, Arabic, Sanskrit, Pali, Physical Education and Sports, and Arts and Crafts will take place on June 28.

Physics, History of Bangladesh and World Civilisation, and Finance and Banking exams are scheduled on Jun 30, followed by Chemistry, Civics and Citizenship and Business Entrepreneurship on July 2, Geography and Environment on July 3, Higher Mathematics on July 4, Accounting on Jul 5 and Biology and Economics on July 6.

Practical examinations will be held from July 13 to July 19.

The pandemic has forced the government to depart from the usual schedule for the exams. Typically, the SSC exams take place in February and the HSC in April.

The exams were held in November and December last year following the resumption of in-person classes. The syllabi were shortened while the tests were held on three elective subjects only.

This year's SSC exams will also be held on an abridged syllabus.

Religion and Moral Education, Information and Communication Technology, Bangladesh and Global Studies, and Science will not be included in the curriculum. Students will be given a grade on these subjects through subject mapping.
