DEB directs HSC centres to provide seating, shelters for guardians

DHAKA, July 3, 2026 (BSS) - The Dhaka Education Board (DEB) has directed all 
Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examination centres under its jurisdiction 
to install waiting sheds or shelters with chairs outside the centres to ease 
the sufferings of guardians waiting during the ongoing examinations.

The board also instructed the authorities concerned to deploy Rover Scouts, 
Girls Guides and Bangladesh National Cadet Corps (BNCC) members to maintain 
discipline and prevent unwanted crowds outside the examination centres.

The directives were issued to the officers-in-charge of all examination 
centres under the Dhaka Education Board through an official order.

According to the order, inspections of different examination centres found 
that guardians remain outside for long hours after examinees enter the 
centres.

It said that the absence of waiting sheds or seating arrangements at most 
centres causes hardship for guardians, who have to wait in scorching heat or 
rain.
