Due to the adverse weather conditions, the semi-annual examinations of all secondary level educational institutions in four upazilas of the coastal district of Noakhali have been postponed. As per the instructions, the examinations scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday and the following Thursday will be postponed. District Education Officer Nur Uddin Jahangir confirmed the matter to Prothom Alo at around 8 pm today, Tuesday. The District Education Officer said that due to continuous rain in Noakhali for two days, many educational institutions in Sadar, Subarnachar, Kabirhat and Companiganj upazilas have been waterlogged. Roads leading to schools have been submerged. In the prevailing situation, secondary education officials in those upazilas have sought instructions from him to suspend the ongoing semi-annual examinations of all secondary level schools and madrasas on Wednesday and Thursday. In view of which, he has asked to postpone the examinations for the next two days. In response to a question, the education officer said that the institutions have not been asked to close. Since the examinations are a sensitive issue, the two-day examinations on Wednesday and Thursday have been asked to be postponed. The next two days, Friday and Saturday, are already closed due to weekly holidays. It is hoped that the situation will improve by then.
