The government has planned to reintroduce online classes for secondary and higher- secondary institutions in Dhaka to navigate the severe fuel crisis triggered by escalating conflict in the Middle East.
Education Minister ANM Ehsanul Hoque Milon told reporters the preliminary plan focuses on a three-day online and three-day offline split, reports bdnews24.com.
He made the remarks after a meeting with Prime Minister Tarique Rahman at the Secretariat on Tuesday morning.
"We have discussed the promotion of online education as a necessity given the global instability," the minister said.
"We will present this proposal at the next Cabinet meeting, where a formal decision will be reached."
The minister noted that the government has already conducted a survey, which found that 85 percent of respondents favour a shift to online platforms.
