Dhaka, February 6: Revised short syllabus of 2021 SSC and HSC examinations has been published. This restructured syllabus prepared by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board has been sent to the headmasters of all the educational institutions under the Dhaka Board of Education.

The final approval was given at a meeting chaired by Education Minister Dr. Dipu Moni last Thursday (February 4). It was published on the Dhaka Board of Education website on Friday (February 5).

In this regard, National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) Chairman Professor Narayan Chandra Saha said, 'Final approval has been given to the newly created syllabus for SSC and HSC candidates. We have sent it to Dhaka Education Board. Earlier on January 25, the Dhaka Board of Education had published a short syllabus of SSC. The students objected. Teachers, students and parents said it was not possible to complete the short syllabus in three or four months.

According to NCTB sources, Education Minister Dr. Dipu Moni had a meeting with curriculum experts at NCTB on January 27. There he instructed the officers to do a short syllabus of 60 days of SSC and 84 days of HSC.

After the meeting, the education minister told reporters that all classes of SSC and HSC will have to be completed on May 9 and SSC in June and HSC exams will be taken in July or August. The syllabus will be shortened as much as can be taught during this period. Questions and answer sheets will be evaluated from this short syllabus.

Following the instruction of the Education Minister, the experts of NCTB completed the work of short syllabus on Tuesday by conducting two days workshop in each class of SSC-HSC. Earlier, the syllabus was reduced by an average of 25 to 30 percent. When there was a debate in various quarters about that, later an initiative was taken to shorten the syllabus. This time the syllabus has been reduced by about 50 percent, officials said.
