Primary Scholarship Results for 2025 to be Announced Today via Two Methods
The results for the 2025 primary scholarship examinations are scheduled for release today, Thursday, July 9th. The Directorate of Primary Education has indicated that all preparations for the announcement are nearing completion. Students and guardians will be able to access the results through two distinct methods. The Minister of Primary and Mass Education, A. N. M. Ehsanul Haque Milan, will officially declare the results at a press conference at the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education in the Secretariat this morning.
This year, a total of 82,500 students will be awarded scholarships. Of these, 80% will go to students from government primary schools, while the remaining 20% will be allocated to students from private schools and kindergartens. The scholarships are divided into two categories: 'Talent Pool' and 'General Grade,' each with different financial benefits. The examination was conducted nationwide, with most districts holding it from April 15th to 18th, 2026, and the three hill districts (Rangamati, Khagrachhari, and Bandarban) following a special schedule from April 17th to 20th. Approximately 640,000 students participated, comprising over 550,000 from government primary schools and about 90,000 from private institutions.
Results can be obtained online via the IPEMIS portal or through mobile SMS. The Directorate of Primary Education confirmed that 33,000 students will receive Talent Pool scholarships, and 49,500 will receive General scholarships. Talent Pool recipients will receive 300 Taka monthly and a one-time annual payment of 225 Taka. General scholarship recipients will get 225 Taka monthly and a one-time annual payment of 225 Taka. These financial benefits will be provided for two years following the students' completion of the fifth grade.
The announcement of primary scholarship results highlights a system designed to incentivize academic achievement, particularly for students in government primary schools, who receive the majority of the scholarships. The tiered scholarship system, with 'Talent Pool' and 'General Grade' distinctions, aims to recognize varying levels of academic merit. The dual distribution method (online and SMS) reflects an effort to ensure broad accessibility. However, the disparity in scholarship ratios between government (1 in 8) and private schools (1 in 5.5) warrants examination regarding equitable opportunity and potential reinforcement of existing socioeconomic divides. The long-term impact of these scholarships on educational pathways and the national talent pool should be considered within the evolving landscape of future skill demands.
