The government has decided to scrap Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) in Primary Education Completion (PEC) Examination from this year.

Primary and Mass Education Minister Mostafizur Rahman made the announcement while replying to a journalist’s query at a press briefing at the Secretariat in the capital on Tuesday.

Responding to another question, he said three or four months is no matter. “The PEC examination will be held in November. Any revolution can be possible in one or two months. So, there will be no problem.”

The students are taught according to the syllabus, so the question will be made from it, he added.

Earlier, the minister announced the result of scholarships in the Primary Terminal Examinations 2017.
