The Dhaka Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board has launched an inquiry into allegations that Narsingdi Sadar’s Nasima Kadir Molla High School and Homes used irregular methods behind its 100% GPA-5 result in the 2026 SSC examinations. In an order signed by school inspector Professor Dr Md Masud Rana Khan, the board asked the institution to explain the allegations within seven working days.

The inquiry followed media reports and complaints from guardians that the school selectively allowed students to sit for the final SSC examination to preserve its record. Several mothers of students said their children had studied there since first grade, but were told before the SSC examination that they could not take part. The school’s head teacher, Md Iman Hossain, said 483 students took the selection test and 101 failed, leaving 382 approved for the SSC examination.

According to sources cited in the report, 601 students were registered in class nine in 2024, while 382 were allowed to participate in the 2026 SSC examination, a difference of 219 students. The board has sought data on admissions, class-nine registrations, selection-test participants and SSC form-fillers, along with relevant approvals for teaching, departments and additional class sections.
