“A” level exams
The "O" and "A" level exams are patently very important for the students who have a dream to go abroad for higher studies and intend to build a bright future. The British Council bears the responsibility to conduct those exams by itself and nominating some other institutions and centres in Dhaka and other cities in our country. Achieving a good result in those exams is a mandatory requirement for admissions in foreign colleges and universities. Seemingly the standard and authenticity of the exams taken by the British Council are highly praised and accepted worldwide.
My son is appearing in "A" level exams this year. Since he is a student of Academia School, Lalmatia, his seat was also set there. During frequent outages of electricity all their air-conditioners remained off and the backup system or the generator could not bear the load required for fans and lights together. The screeching sound of the generator is not only annoying for the examinees, it is mind-distracting too. So, the students have to suffer severely during electricity outages and in this searing heat and humidity. We tried to talk to the authorities regarding the disadvantages but the director of the institution could not make time to talk to the guardians, in spite of repeated requests. We brought this matter to the knowledge of the British Council exam authorities but failed to get any positive outcome as yet. My son has fallen ill by this time.
British Council should immediately look into the matter.
