Govt to abolish MCQ system in SSC exams

Staff Correspondent: Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid said that the government wants to abolish multiple-choice questions (MCQ) in all examinations in the secondary level.

The Minister made the disclosure following the opinion of prominent educationists during a view exchange meeting at CIRDAP conference hall in Dhaka on Thursday.

Pointing out that many teachers do not have the capability of preparing creative question papers, the educationists suggested that the government needs to rethink about the system.

The educationists in a view-exchange meeting also suggested preparing a question bank so that question papers for the public examinations can be prepared from it.

The minister at the meeting said his ministry will formulate its next course of action keeping the educationists’ suggestions in mind.

Prof Abdullah Abu Sayeed, Prof Muhammed Zafar Iqbal, Faras Uddin, Mohammad Kaykobad, Sultana Kamal and others spoke on the programme.
