The Zia Memorial Talent Scholarship Examination was held in Cox’s Bazar on Friday after a long break, with 2,885 students taking part at six centres across five areas.
The examination, organised by the Moulvi Saidul Haque Foundation under the patronage of Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed, began at 10 am and ended at noon.
The examination was held simultaneously in Pekua, Chakaria, Matamuhuri, Kutubdia and Moheshkhali.
According to the organisers, 734 third-graders, 915 fourth-graders, 706 sixth-graders and 530 seventh-graders participated in the examination.
Students and guardians expressed satisfaction with the orderly environment. The resumption of the scholarship examination after a long gap also generated enthusiasm among the students.
The organising committee said the examination had remained suspended for years due to political hostility during the previous Awami League government. It was resumed this year.
The organisers said the results would be published soon, and Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed would award prizes to the scholarship recipients.
