Three amendment bills were passed in Parliament on Sunday aiming to publish the results of the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent examinations that were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

These bills are 'Intermediate and Secondary Education (Amendment) Bill, 2021', 'Bangladesh Technical Education Board (Amendment) Bill, 2021' and 'Bangladesh Madrasah Education Board (Amendment) Bill, 2021'.

Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni placed the bills in the House on January 19 and those were sent to the respective parliamentary standing committee for further scrutiny.

The minister had said all the preparations have already been completed to publish the results.

The results would be published once the House passes the bills, she said.

Last year’s HSC and equivalent examinations were cancelled due to the coronavirus prevalence.
