SSC examination: Wrong question papers given at four Ctg centres

Examinees at four Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination centres were given question paper sets according to a different syllabus due to ‘the errors of centre officials’ on the first day of examinations.

Board officials say the errors were reported at four centres under the supervision of the Chattogram Education Board, reports bdnews24.com.

The SSC examinations began all across the country on Saturday with the Bangla First Paper.

The four examination centres where the error occurred were: Dr Khastagir Government Girls’ High School and Municipal Model High School centres in the port city and the Pekua Girls’ High School and the Ukhiya Girls’ High School in Cox’s Bazar.

The education board was unable to say how many students had been affected by the error.

Chattogram Education Board Exam Controller Mahbub Hassan said this year’s Bangla examinations could be given under syllabi from 2016, 2018 or 2019.

“At four centres, due to the errors of the centre secretaries, students who were to sit for the 2019 syllabus were given question papers with questions set according to the 2018 syllabus.”

“So far we have learned that this has happened at four centres. But we do not yet know how many students were affected. Additional details will be released later.”

“We will of course take the necessary measures to ensure that the examinees are not harmed in any way,” he said.
