But their roll numbers will remain unchanged in the new classes, said Alamgir Muhammad Mansurul Alam, director general of the Directorate of Primary Education. The government also scrapped the Primary Education Completion or PEC exams for students of class five along with JSC, SSC and equivalent exams for students of grades eight and 10. The HSC candidates’ results will be based on the grades they had achieved in their JSC and SSC exams. The schools are giving assignments to the students of grades six to nine to find out their weaknesses. Primary school students are not being given assignments considering their age, said Alamgir.
