No PEC exam, too, this year

This year's Primary Education Completion Examination (PECE) and its equivalent exams will not be held, an official familiar with the decision said. 

This comes a day after the government annouced that they will not conduct the the Junior School Certificate (JSC) and Junior Dakhil Certificate (JDC) examinations

Aminul Islam Khan, Senior Secretary of Ministry of Primary and Mass Education confirmed the decision to UNB on Monday.

On Sunday, Education Minister Dipu Moni said JSC and JDC exams will not be held this year like the previous year.

“Students will be promoted to the next class on the basis of the results of final exams in their respective schools. However, they will receive a certificate from their respective Board of Education,” she said.
