History
[edit]In 20 August 2024, a group of students in Bangladesh protested the government's decision to cancel the HSC exams.[3] The cancellation was due to widespread protests and unrest across the country. The students initiated further demonstrations on August 21 in front of the National Press Club in Dhaka, demanding that the exams be rescheduled rather than canceled.[4] The education board stuck to its decision and published the HSC results with subject mapping for the remaining subjects on 15 October 2024.[5] Students began their protests regarding the HSC results on October 20, 2024. They stormed the Dhaka Education Board demanding a re-evaluation of the results, which they claimed were unfair and discriminatory. During the protest, students broke tables and chairs in the board office as tensions grew, leading to claims of vandalism against the officials who were there.[6] Board officials said that a group of students suddenly entered the building and started damaging property, including furniture in the chairman's office. They said a fight broke out when students tried to enter areas that were restricted. The chairman of the Dhaka Education Board, Professor Tapan Kumar Sarkar, later announced his resignation amid the protests, stating that he would submit his resignation letter to the education minister and address the students' demands.
