Mymensingh: Education Minister Dr A N M Ehsanul Hoque Milon today said the upcoming SSC and equivalent examinations will be held across the country in a completely fair, transparent, and orderly manner without adopting any unfair means. ‘No kind of irregularity or negligence in the answer sheet evaluation process will be tolerated. If any allegation of such misconduct by examiners in assessment is proven, strict action will be taken against those responsible,’ he said.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Milon made these remarks while speaking as the chief guest at a discussion held with the head examiners of Mymensingh Education Board and the Madrasah and Technical Education Boards of the Mymensingh region regarding the SSC and equivalent examinations-2026. The minister emphasized the importance of strict adherence to the prescribed guidelines in answer-sheet evaluation alongside the smooth conduct of examinations.
He underscored that a responsible and professional role from examiners is essential to ensure the accurate reflection of students’ true merit and achievement. The minister also mentioned that initiatives have been taken to update the Public Examinations (Offences) Act, 1980, to encompass those involved in question leaks, fraud, and cheating in various government recruitment examinations under the law.
Referring to past irregularities, Milon highlighted that the tendency to show artificial success in examination results undermines the quality of education. He stressed the need to completely eliminate such unethical practices to build an accountable and quality education system. Various programmes are being implemented as part of the government’s continuous efforts to improve the education system, and coordinated efforts of teachers, administration, and all concerned stakeholders are considered very important in this regard.
Lawmakers from various constituencies of the region, concerned officials, and other stakeholders attended the meeting.
