The Secondary and Higher Education Division of Bangladesh’s Ministry of Education has released a new policy for student admissions to government secondary schools for the upcoming academic year. The system will continue to use a centralized online digital lottery for student selection, application submission, fee payment, and result publication. Each class will admit a maximum of 55 students. The policy reserves 5% of seats for children of freedom fighters, 0.5% for children of ministry officials, and additional quotas for special needs students, twins, and siblings. Students can apply to up to five schools, and no admission tests will be held. The academic year will run from January 1 to December 31. The policy aims to ensure transparency, inclusivity, and efficiency in the admission process across the country.
