Education Minister ANM Ehsanul Hoque Milon on Thursday said that the results of the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examinations will be published on 20 July.
Speaking at a press conference held on Thursday at the Ministry of Education conference room at the Secretariat, the minister said this year’s SSC examinations were conducted in a fair and peaceful environment without any reports of question paper leaks or other irregularities.
He credited the smooth conduct of the exams to the cooperation of all concerned stakeholders.
Marking four months in office, Ehsanul Hoque Milon outlined ongoing activities and future plans of the ministry, stating that efforts are underway to implement reforms, improve quality, and introduce student-friendly initiatives under the government’s 180-day programme.
He said that previously suspended scholarship examinations at both primary and secondary levels have now been completed since he assumed office.
He also said that a long-standing issue involving the participation of private and kindergarten schools in scholarship examinations had been resolved through coordination with stakeholders.
The minister added that the ministry is working to reduce academic session backlogs by holding SSC and HSC examinations immediately after syllabus completion.
He also said examination schedules for SSC and HSC have been announced a year in advance to benefit students, guardians, and educational institutions.
Highlighting ongoing development initiatives, the minister said various projects are being implemented to modernise and improve the education sector.
As part of these efforts, ICT training has been provided to 120,000 teachers under the National University, a programme inaugurated by the prime minister.
He also mentioned that an “Innovation Idea Showcase” has been organised nationwide to encourage creative educational initiatives.
The concluding ceremony of the programme will be held on 28 and 29 June, with a total of 32 conferences and exhibition events planned. The prime minister is expected to attend the closing ceremony.
Emphasising the importance of sports in students’ physical and mental development, the minister said a nationwide football tournament for primary school students has been ongoing since 4 April.
The competition, featuring both boys’ and girls’ teams, will conclude with its final round at the National Stadium on 20 June.
The minister further said that the government’s broader goal is to build a joyful and humane education system.
He added that equal importance is being given to sports, cultural activities, moral education, family values, school uniforms, and mid-day meal programmes.
