The interim government has introduced a 5% quota in government school admissions for the children of individuals who were killed or injured during the 2024 uprising, aligning it with the existing quota for the children of freedom fighters.

An office order regarding this decision was issued by the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education on February 20, and it was officially made public on Sunday. School and college principals have been instructed to ensure the proper implementation of this directive.

As per the order, 5% of the seats in government secondary schools will be reserved for the children of freedom fighters or martyred freedom fighters, along with the families of those who were injured or lost their lives in the 2024 July Uprising. To qualify for this quota, applicants are required to submit relevant supporting documents, including an attested copy of the gazette with their application form. Additionally, they must present the original document at the time of admission for verification.

The order further emphasizes that the admission process should be conducted only after a thorough verification of the freedom fighter certificate, which must be issued by the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs, or the official gazette notification listing the martyrs of the 2024 July Uprising.
