Schools, colleges now to run until April 20
Tuesday, 5 April 2022
The ministry of education has decided to run classes in secondary and higher secondary schools in Ramadan until April 20 instead of April 26, as previously announced, reports bdnews24.com.
"The decision was made taking the traffic logjam into account," the ministry's spokesman MA Khayer said after a meeting on Monday.
In a directive on March 28, the ministry asked all institutions to continue classes until April 26 to make up for the pandemic-induced long closure.
But a section of the students and parents was discontent with the previous decision amid the Islamic holy month of fasting.
