The Chattogram Education Board has postponed Saturday’s Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examination because of severe flooding and deteriorating weather conditions. The decision was announced on Friday through an official notice signed by Professor Md. Parvez Sajjad Chowdhury, the board’s controller of examinations. The postponed test was the Information and Communication Technology subject, code 275, scheduled for Saturday across all districts under the board.

According to the notice, the new date for the postponed exam will be announced later. Due to power outages in many areas, acting officers at all examination centers have been instructed to inform local residents about the postponement through public announcements. Earlier, on Wednesday, the Chattogram Education Board, along with the Madrasa and Technical Education Boards in the affected areas, had also postponed HSC and equivalent exams for the same reason.

The board’s decision reflects ongoing disruptions caused by the worsening flood situation, which continues to affect educational activities across the region.
