The results of Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent examinations-2020 will be published by 28 January.
Cabinet Secretary Khandker Anwarul Islam on Monday announced it after a meeting at the Secretariat.
Earlier, the Cabinet approved a draft amendment of the Intermediate and Secondary Education Ordinance with a view to publishing the results.
“The next session of the parliament will be held on January 18. The amendment will be placed on that day,” the cabinet secretary added.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina chaired the meeting virtually while other ministers and secretaries attended it from the Secretariat.
On 16 March last year, the ministry issued a press release, announcing the government's decision to close all educational institutions and coaching centres from 18-31 March, taking into consideration students' safety amid the global pandemic.
Classes have remained suspended since then, but administrative activities gradually resumed.
