The government today postponed Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent examinations scheduled for tomorrow under all educational boards due to very cyclonic storm ‘Mocha’, which has already made landfall in the south-eastern coastline.

“SSC and equivalent exams of all education boards scheduled for tomorrow have been postponed as the exams were supposed to be held following a single question,” said a press release signed by Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee President Prof Tapan Kumar Sarkar.

Earlier, on Saturday, SSC and equivalent examinations scheduled for today (May 14) and tomorrow (May 15) under six education boards- Chattogram, Barishal, Cumilla, Jashore, Madrasah and Technical – were postponed, considering the potential impacts of cyclone ‘Mocha’.

Fresh dates for the postponed examinations will be notified later, the release added.

The exams will continue as per the routine from May 16.
