The SSC and its equivalent examinations slated for today and Tuesday (March 5) have been rescheduled for March 9 and March 6 respectively due to a three-day countrywide hartal called by Jamaat-e-Islami and opposition BNP.

Prof Abdus Salam Hawlader, acting chairman of Dhaka Education Board and head of InterEducation Board Coordination Committee, told the news agency that the examinations slated for today will be held on March 9.

The examination slated for Tuesday will be held on Wednesday.

The Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and its equivalent Dakhil and SSC vocational examinations simultaneously began across the country on February 3.
