Educational institutions may reopen after Eid: Dipu Moni

The government may have decided to reopen all the schools and colleges across the country after Eid-ul-Fitr considering the rise of COVID-19 cases in the country in the last few days, said Education Minister Dr. Dipu Moni.

The Education Minister came up with the statement after a meeting on Thursday and said, “As the number of deaths and new cases of COVID-19 have been increasing rapidly over last few days, the decision on reopening will be reconsidered thinking about the students.”

A formal announcement in this regard will come by tomorrow after a meeting of the concerned committee, she added.

Earlier, the government decided to reopen the educational institutions on 30 March, after more than a year of shutdown over the COVID-19 pandemic.

All the educational institutions across the country were kept shut on 17 March last year to prevent mass infection.
