In the memorandum, they said, we are deeply concerned about some important issues related to the upcoming HSC examination. By this letter presenting the arguments in favor of their claim and seeking your kind consideration.

Education Minister Mahibul Hasan Chowdhury Naufel said on Tuesday about the postponement of the HSC examination, there is no opportunity to postpone the HSC and equivalent examinations across the country citing flood and heavy rains. We have already postponed the HSC exam of Sylhet division. There is no chance of postponing the exam across the country because other areas will have a lot of rain after a few days. If we delay we will not be able to take the exam there.
It is to be noted that due to floods, the upcoming HSC and equivalent exams in Sylhet Division have been postponed till July 8. As a result, the HSC and equivalent examinations will start all over the country from June 30, but they are suspended in the districts of Sylhet division.
