The terminal examinations for primary students will begin on November 23. The exams will end on November 29 and the results will be published on December 26.
This year, 21,57,400 students will take the exams in 5,971 examination centres. There will be six examination centres in outside the country where 496 students will take the exams.
An examination preparation meeting was held at the primary and mass education ministry on Tuesday.
‘All education officials were asked to take steps for a successful holding of the examinations,’ Pranab Kumer Neogi, deputy secretary to the primary and mass education ministry, said.
Primary students, meanwhile, said they could not study because of frequent power outages amid hot weather.
‘We face power outages several times a day. It is impossible to concentrate on studies in such a situation,’ said Mukta Alam, a Class V student at Jannat Academy at Mirpur in Dhaka.
Monirul Islam, the guardian of a student at Lalmatia, said his children could not prepare properly for the examinations because of frequent power cuts.
