A candidate of Primary Education Completion (PEC) examination was killed when an auto-rickshaw hit a rickshaw carrying her in Chattogram city's Bandartila area yesterday.

This year's Primary Education Completion (PEC) and Ebtedayee Examinations for the fifth graders begins across the country.

The government has rescheduled and brought forward the dates of all primary and secondary school final exams so that students do not face any problems during the 11th national election, likely to be held in late December.

The largest public tests in Bangladesh, Primary Education Completion (PEC) and equivalent Ebtedayee examinations for fifth graders will begin on November 18.
