Primary schools reopen on Aug 4

 

The government on Wednesday decided to reopen primary schools across the country from Sunday, barring those in 12 city corporations and municipalities in Narsingdi district.

Decision to reopen primary schools was taken at a meeting of the Primary and Mass Education Ministry and Primary Education Directorate in the afternoon.
"Classroom activities in all government primary schools, children welfare trust-operated primary schools and Bureau of Non-Formal Education-operated learning centres across the country, except under 12 city corporations and municipality areas under Narsingdi, will resume from August 4," read a press release issued by the Primary and Mass Education Ministry.

As violence over Quota Reform Movement spread across the country, the government on July 17 shut all educational institutions under the Primary and Mass Education Ministry for an indefinite period.
