Primary and Mass Education Minister Advocate Mustafizur Rahman disclosed the details while briefing reporters at his office on Thursday.
The minister said, all necessary preparations have been taken to properly hold the examinations.
“Question papers have been formulated, printed and distributed under special arrangements and security. Despite all the measures, there remain chances of question paper leakage under the traditional system of question paper making,” he said.
Mustafizur Rahman continued, “We’ve been thinking to introduce a digital system instead of traditional one in preparing and distribute of question papers in the future.”
