Primary scholarship exam results by Feb 28

The results of primary scholarship examinations will be published between February 25 and 28.

"DPE (Directorate of Primary Education) Director General Shah Rezwan confirmed the matter," said Secretary of the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education (MoPME) Farid Ahmed at a press conference in the conference room of the secretariat today.

Due to the Covid-19 epidemic, the Primary Education Completion (PEC) examination has been suspended since 2020, and the government scrapped the PEC examinations last year.

The primary scholarship examination was held in December, 2022, 13 years after the last one held in 2008.

A total of six lakh fifth-graders took part in the examination on December 30 last year. Among them, 80,000 students will get the scholarships.

State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Zakir Hossain was also present at the conference.
