"There will be no exams … we are thinking about what more we can do. Maybe we can promote without an exam."  -  Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina

This year's Junior School Certificate and its equivalent exams were cancelled yesterday while Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina hinted that students might be promoted without having to sit for class final tests.

The move comes after the government cancelled Primary Education Completion Examination (PECE) and its equivalents for this year due to the pandemic and the closure of schools.

"The JSC-JDC exams will not be held in 2020," the education ministry said in a statement.
