Education Advisor Chowdhury Rafiqul Abrar says the decision to suspend the ongoing Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) exams after the fighter jet crash at Milestone School and College in Dhaka was delayed because such decisions cannot be made at the whim of a single person. On Tuesday, a group of students besieged the Secretariat all day to demand the resignation of the education advisor and the education secretary over this incident. Under pressure, the government suspended the education secretary that day. When a journalist asked on Wednesday whether he would resign, the education advisor became visibly angry. After nearly nine hours, he, Law Advisor Asif Nazrul, and Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam were able to leave the scene.
