Dhaka, Oct 13 (UNB) – Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni on Sunday said all the coaching centers would remain closed from October 25 till November 15 due to the Junior School Certificate (JSC) and Junior Dakhil Certificate (JDC) examinations.

The minister said this while  talking to reporters after the national monitoring and law and order committee’s meeting on JSC/JDC  exams at the International Mother Language Institute .

This year’s JSC and JDC exams will be held from November 2 to 13.
