The Ministry of Education has urged people of the country not to pay heed to any rumour about HSC and its equivalent examinations.
“Recently, it has been noticed that teachers, parents and students are being misled by various social media posts regarding opening of educational institutions and announcement of various imaginary dates of HSC and equivalent examinations from fake Facebook pages and profiles in the name of the Ministry of Education,” said a handout on Saturday.
Teachers, parents and students are requested to remain vigilant in this regard, it said.
According to UNB, the ministry also sought the cooperation of the media in this regard.
