Twenty students of Mostafapur Multilateral High School in Madaripur Sadar Upazila will be unable to sit for the SSC examination despite paying form fill-up fees, as they allegedly did not receive their admit cards.
Following the incident, students and guardians staged a protest on Monday morning by burning tyres on the school grounds and demanded maximum punishment for those responsible.
The affected students said they are SSC candidates for 2026. They claimed that although some of them failed in one subject in the selection exam, assistant teacher Sohail Mroal and office assistant Nur Alam still allowed them to complete the form fill-up process. They also alleged that additional money was collected beyond the fixed fee.
The students said each of them paid Tk15,000, but still did not receive admit cards. They also alleged that several lakh taka were collected from 20 students in the name of form fill-up. They accused assistant teacher Sohail Mroal and office assistant Nur Alam of embezzlement.
Several students, including Setu, Abriti, Ania, Swarna and Lion, said, “Even though we failed, we were shown as passed and money was taken for form fill-up. Now we are hearing that our admit cards have not arrived and we cannot sit for the exam.”
Several guardians and students claim they had been deceived by the teacher, and their future now stands uncertain. They demanded punishment for those responsible.
Assistant teacher Sohail Mroal said “It was a mistake and the money would be returned to the students.”
Office assistant Nur Alam also said “The money would be refunded if necessary.”
Head teacher Borhan Khan said “A written complaint has been received and action will be taken after investigation.”
Madaripur District Education Officer Md Faridul Islam said the matter will be investigated and legal action will be taken.
Madaripur Sadar Upazila Nirbahi Officer Wadia Shabab said the accused will be temporarily suspended and further action will be taken after investigation.
