All primary schools, including Shishu Kalyan Primary Schools and primary schools run by the non-formal education bureau, will remain closed until further notice considering the security of students in the current situation, according to a notice, signed by the ministry's Senior Assistant Secretary Satyajit Roy Das, issued on Saturday.
