No PEC, Ebtedayee Exams This Year

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has approved the cancellation of this year's Primary Education Completion (PEC) and Ebtedayee exams.

An additional secretary of the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education confirmed the matter to the media.

Md Zakir Hossain, the State Minister for Primary and Mass Education, said he would brief the media about it later.

The ministry had already offered the premier a recommendation regarding the cancellation of this year's PEC and Ebtedayee exams due to the coronavirus outbreak.

However, Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni recently revealed that the government has decided to cancel the Junior School Certificate (JSC) and Junior Dakhil Certificate (JDC) exams for this year.
