The Ministry of Education has confirmed that the information of extending auto promotion to students without examination is baseless and rumor.
The Ministry told it in a statement on Wednesday (July 9th) that a number of media outlets had recently published reports that auto-promotions would be given in educational institutions in different classes without examinations. This matter is baseless and rumor. The Ministry of Education has not yet taken any decision in this regard.
Due to Corona situation, all educational institutions in the country have been closed since March 16. The officials said that the decision will be taken by the Ministry of Education after considering many things to be done in the overall reality.
Although television and online classes have recently been launched to deal with the situation, there have been complications with students taking exams. In this context, the Ministry of Education has been informing about the plan to shorten the syllabus or extend the academic year if necessary. However, no decision has been taken yet.
