Dhaka Education Board Chairman Prof Tapan Kumar Sarkar has resigned.

Prof Tapan said he submitted his resignation letter to the Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Department Secretary.

A group of students under the banner of ‘HSC-Batch 2024’ entered the Dhaka Education Board premises and staged a demonstration opposing the HSC results terming it ‘discriminatory’.

Terming the results as discriminatory the students demanded the government to publish the results through mapping of all subjects.
