The scheduled exams for Tuesday in Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent examinations have been postponed due to the crash of a BAF training aircraft into Milestone School and College premises.
Information Advisor Mahfuj Alam and Youth and Sports Advisor Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan, respectively, announced the information on their verified Facebook accounts around 2:30am on Tuesday.
"The decision to postpone Tuesday's HSC exams was confirmed in a meeting with the education adviser," wrote Mahfuj Alam in his post.
Many students and social media users criticised the education boards' initial plan to proceed with the exams despite the national shock.
Tuesday's scheduled subjects included:
-
Chemistry (Theory) 2nd Paper
-
Islamic History & Culture 2nd Paper
-
History or Home Economics 2nd Paper
-
Production & Marketing 2nd Paper
