The families of those killed or injured during the July uprising will receive a 5 percent quota benefit in the admission process for government schools.
Additionally, the children of freedom fighters or martyrs will also be eligible for this benefit.
The Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education issued an order to this effect on Sunday.
Instructions have already been sent to school and college principals for the implementation of this decision.
Earlier, on February 20, an official order regarding this matter was issued by the directorate.
According to the official order, 5 percent of seats in government secondary schools will be reserved for the children of freedom fighters or martyrs and for the families of those injured or martyred in the July uprising. The relevant certificates or gazette copies must be attached to the application form, and the original documents must be shown during the admission process.
The order further clarifies that the relevant person's freedom fighter certificate issued by the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs or the gazette for those martyred in the July uprising should be properly verified before completing the admission process. If the children of freedom fighters or martyrs, or the families of the uprising victims, are not available, the seat will be filled from the merit list. Under no circumstances will any seat be left vacant.
