The court also issued a rule asking why the education ministry’s admission guidelines 2017 should not be declared illegal. The education secretary, the Dhaka education board chairman and three others have been ordered to respond to the rule within four weeks. The country’s educational institutions are run under the 1961 Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Ordinance, he toldbdnews24.com. The High Court also stayed the application of the guidelines to Dhaka’s Notre Dame, Holy Cross and St Joseph colleges. This means each of those colleges can use their own admission procedure for higher secondary education applicants.
