The Sylhet Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education has issued show-cause notices to four teachers after errors were found in the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) Physics (theoretical) first paper exam of 2026. The notice, signed by the board’s exam controller Professor Bilkis Yasmin on July 14, stated that serious mistakes were detected in questions 6 and 7 of the creative section of the paper held on July 13.
