The announcement was issued on Sunday night after hours of student demonstrations.
Sources from the Dhaka Education Board confirmed that Professor Sarkar is expected to officially submit his resignation letter to the Ministry of Education on Monday. The board has stated that the students' demands will be forwarded to the ministry for review. Any further action will be taken based on the ministry’s directives.
The protests began Sunday afternoon, with students calling for the HSC results to be determined by “indiscriminate” mapping across all subjects, similar to the process used for SSC exams. They demanded fairness and consistency in the grading process.
