Bangladesh’s interim government on Tuesday postponed Higher Secondary Certificate and its equivalent examinations scheduled to be held on Thursday in the country.

Earlier in the morning, the government postponed the exams to be held on Tuesday.


The decision was taken as the interim government was observing one-day state mourning on Tuesday after a Bangladesh Air Force jet crashed into a building of Milestone School and College in the capital’s Uttara area on Monday, killing at least 31 and injuring 165.

In a press release, issued by the chief adviser’s press wing on Tuesday afternoon, the education adviser Professor Chowdhury Rafiqul Abrar said that they would inform later when the postponed exams would be held.
