The High Court has issued a rule asking why students from private schools are not allowed to participate in the Primary Scholarship Examination. The rule follows a writ petition filed by Arifur Rahman Murad Bhuiyan, a resident of Narsingdi, who challenged two recent circulars from the Directorate of Primary Education that exclude private institutions. Until 2022, all school types were eligible. The court has directed the Director General and Scholarship Division Director to respond within four weeks.
