The authorities are working on a proposal to publish HSC results through subject mapping – a process in which the scores of six cancelled tests will be based on the students' SSC and JSC grades, sources at multiple education boards have said.
A similar process was followed when all HSC examinees were promoted after the exams were cancelled during the coronavirus pandemic. The results were based on an average of the students' SSC and JSC scores.
Professor Tapan Kumar Sarkar, president of the Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee and Chairman of Dhaka Education Board, said the latest proposal has been sent to the education ministry for approval.
"This may be the final process for determining the results, but it could also change. Until we get the approval, we won't be able to provide further details. Once it is approved, we will share it officially."
Officials say subject mapping is to be used for calculating scores for cancelled exams
The decision might be finalised within this week, Prof Tapan added.
The Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee submitted the proposal outlining the approach to calculate the final results as six examinations were cancelled due to the student-led mass uprising.
According to the proposal, 25 percent of the scores that the students obtained in their JSC exams, and 75 percent of SSC will be averaged to determine their final scores in the cancelled HSC tests, education board officials said.
