SSC exams for Sunday, Tuesday postponed

The government has postponed Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and its equivalent examinations scheduled for Sunday and Tuesday after the BNP-led 20-party alliance called a fresh 72-hour hartal from tomorrow.
"The tests have been postponed due to unavoidable circumstances,” Subodh Chandra Dhali, senior information officer of education ministry, told The Daily Star today.
However, the ministry will announce the dates for the postponed exams later, the ministry official said.
The 20-party alliance has called the 72-hour nationwide hartal (shutdown) to press home their demands that include general elections under a nonparty administration.
On top of the indefinite blockade, the alliance has been enforcing hartals since February 1, excluding Fridays and Saturdays, compelling the education ministry to reschedule SSC examinations.
Several tests have already been deferred due to the shutdowns.
The alliance enforced the nonstop countrywide blockade since January 6.
