The British Council sent an application to the education ministry on Sept 7, seeking approvals for the exams. The Bangladesh government asked the British Council to strictly follow the hygiene rules and guidelines issued by the Health Directorate and the World Health Organisation during the exams. The British Council will be responsible if any student gets infected with the COVID-19 illness during the exams, according to the letter. The British Council has already issued a notice over the exams after receiving the approval from the ministry. GCSE, IGCSE, O Level and A Level exams set for October-November session will be held on schedule, according to the notice.
