SSC syllabus will not be shortened further: Education Minister

The syllabus of next year’s SSC examination has been shortened. The test will be taken at the end of the lesson. There is no chance to shorten this syllabus anymore.

“The existing syllabus will not be revised anymore,” she said while criticising the students’ demand to make the already short syllabus more concise.

The Education Minister said this after the eye treatment and diabetes examination program at Dhaka Reporters’ Unity on Wednesday.

With a curtailed number of subject-wise tests and shortened syllabuses, this year’s SSC and Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSC) exams are set to begin on 14 November and 2 December respectively.

Advising the students to concentrate more on their studies, the minister said, “Any protest regarding this matter will not affect our decision.”

SSC and its equivalent exams are usually held in February and HSC in April. The government had to defer this year’s SSC, HSC, and equivalent examinations due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Last year, the results of HSC examinees were determined on the basis of their previous SSC and JSC results while students of other classes got promoted to the next classes automatically.

On the occasion, the education minister said, only negative news catches the eye when the newspaper is opened. It lowers people’s self-confidence. That is why it is necessary to publish negative news as well as positive news. If a person wakes up in the morning and reads positive news, he will have a good day. So the good news needs to come up more seriously. It will inspire people.
