The government has published the curtailed syllabus for the examinees of this year's Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent examinations.

The new curriculum was revealed on the website of Dhaka Education Board on Monday.

National Curriculum and Textbook Board prepared the syllabus which was curtailed by 25 percent considering the coronavirus pandemic.

All educational institutions of the country declared closed on March 18 last year in wake of Covid-19 outbreak. Later that closure was extended till January 30, 2021 in several phases. No classes have been held since that day.

The government is now thinking to reopen classes gradually. Yesterday, Education Minister Dipu Moni said regular classes would be held for 10th and 12th graders as educational institutions reopen in February after a lengthy closure.

However, students of other grades would attend only one class in a week, she said.

Earlier on December 29 last year, Education Minister Dipu Moni announced that the next Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent examinations will be held in June 2021 and Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and its equivalent exams in July-August.
