Tomorrow's Junior School Certificate (JSC) and Junior Dakhil Certificate (JDC) examinations will begin at 2:00pm instead of 10:00am due to a half-day hartal called by Gonojagoron Mancha.

The English 1st paper (JSC) exam and Bangla 1st paper (JDC) exam will begin at 2:00pm instead of 10:00am on Tuesday, said an education ministry press release.

Gonojagoron Mancha called a countrywide half-day hartal for Tuesday protesting the killing of Faisal Arefin Dipan, a publisher of slain writer and blogger Avijit Roy's books, and the attacks on another publisher and bloggers.

The JSC and JDC examinations-2015 began across the country on Sunday with the participation of 2,325,933 students.
