The education ministry recently announced its decision to hold the first-ever junior school certificate examinations, starting from November 4. It also announced the schedule for the examinations, according to which Bangla and Engish exams will be held in two days.We all know each subject has two papers of 100 marks each.In secondary school certificate and higher secondary certificate examinations, too, candidates take Bangla I and II on one day and English I and II on another.Is it not putting too much pressure on Class VIII students?Everyone agrees that our students are generally weak in English but the education ministry does not seem to have paid any heed to it . It has also ignored the routine of the Dhaka education board, according to which each paper can be held in a day.
Some 15 lakh students are going to take the junior school certificate examinations .The education ministry has made a lot of changes in its decision with regard to the examinations since April. It seems the ministry has made students of Class VIII some sort of guinea pigs in its experimentations.
Regrettably still, no one has yet raised any objection to the schedule for the junior school certificate examinations, although bundles of letter get published in different newspapers on different issues every day.
