The Crime Desk: Since the interim government took over, the candidates have been demanding the cancellation of the ongoing HSC and equivalent examinations. On Tuesday (August 20) afternoon, when the agitating students occupied the secretariat, the Ministry of Education announced the cancellation of the postponed examinations. Now the students of Notre Dame College have called for a movement to return that exam. In a statement issued to the general students of the college on Wednesday (August 21), the decision to cancel the examination was called for.
According to the statement, the students of Notre Dame College are rejecting the notification issued unilaterally without consulting all parties in the situation arising out of the 2024 HSC examination. The anti-discrimination student movement was organized to ensure the victory of merit. The decision to devalue the merit of hardworking students without taking the exam is absurd.
The students presented three demands to solve the problem. The demands are that the situation arising should be brought to a favorable state as soon as possible, and the HSC-2024 exam should be organized. The list of HSC-2024 batch students who have been injured in the anti-discrimination movement should be published as soon as possible, and measures should be taken to protect their interests. What to do should be decided in consultation with the representatives of the injured hero students. A policy decision should be taken immediately about whether they will participate in the examination after a reasonable time, whether the authorities will not give them auto-promotion, or whether any other approach will be adopted. It should be ensured that the injured students are not discriminated against by other students in the future.
The statement further said that a sit-in program will be held by the batch of 2024 in protest against the decision to cancel the examination and in support of three points. The program will be held in front of the Notre Dame College Gate in Motijheel on Wednesday around 2 pm.
