A total of 1,684 chief examiners and examiners may face disciplinary action over errors in evaluating SSC examination scripts under the Jashore Education Board.
The errors affected the results of 2,436 students after re-scrutiny. Of them, 380 students who had failed in the original results passed, while the grades of 1,304 students changed. A total of 752 students received GPA-5 after the re-scrutiny.
Jashore Education Board Controller of Examinations Prof SM Hossain Ali said the board was taking the matter seriously.
“We are reviewing the examiners’ script evaluation under different categories. The action to be taken against them will be decided after considering the nature of their mistakes,” he said.
Depending on the severity of the errors, the measures may include barring the examiners from setting question papers or evaluating examination scripts.
He said no negligence or mistakes of this nature by examiners would be overlooked. The decision will be formally finalised after a meeting of the disciplinary committee.
According to the Jashore Education Board, the original results of this year’s SSC examinations were published on Aug 10. Students were given seven days from the following day to apply for re-scrutiny.
During that period, 28,862 students applied for re-scrutiny of 74,717 papers.
A review of the re-scrutiny results found changes in the results of 2,436 candidates. Of them, 380 students who had failed in the original results passed, while the grades of 1,304 students changed. A total of 752 students received GPA-5.
