UNB, Dhaka :
A day after issuing an order on university admission on the basis of SSC and HSC examination results, the government on Thursday suspended it amid strong criticisms from different quarters. Education secretary Nazrul Islam said the order has been suspended due to errors in language.
“The ministry’s signature was taken without showing me the draft of the order…we’ll see how it happened. We’ll request the university authorities to cancel the admission test system in the future considering the hassle of guardians,” he added. The Education Ministry issued a circular Wednesday night directing all the universities of the country to enroll students on the basis of the results of SSC and HSC examinations instead of through admission test.
“If the admission to universities is held based on the results of the SSC and the HSC examinations, it will help expedite the commencement of the academic session and help lessen the expenses and troubles facing by parents,” the circular had said.
