HISTORY Higher Secondary Education (HSC)
The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge (SPCK) was the first step from the British Government to spread practical needs education along with religious education. In 1824, the General Committee of Public Instruction was established, proposing to include moral education in the Indian subcontinent. Then, a Directorate of Public Instruction (DPI) was established in each province in 1854 by the proposal of the Woods Education Dispatch.
The Hunter Commission,[19] the first education commission in India, suggested the introduction of “A” Course (Literature) and “B” Course (Technical Education) and guided to establish higher education through private entrepreneurship and the government colleges to remain under divisional management. The Sadler Commission in 1917 had proposed introducing two years of university education merged among the colleges as Higher Secondary Education. Then in 1944, the Sargent Scheme proposed secondary education for children aged between 11 and 17.
The Akram Khan Committee and the Ataur Rahman Khan Commission were established consecutively in 1947 and 1957 to revise the education system. As a result, East Pakistan Secondary Education Board was established to examine secondary-level institutions. This Board was split, and 6 boards were established at each division in pursuance of the Ordinance- 1961[20]
After Bangladesh’s independence, the Government directly controlled secondary and higher secondary education and nationalized a good number of schools and colleges. The office of the Director of Public Instruction (DPI) was renamed the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE)] in 1981
