Education Minister Dr. ANM Ehsanul Haque Milon has announced a proposal to introduce Saturday classes in educational institutions.
Under the proposed plan, students will attend in-person classes in some educational institutions in Dhaka Metropolitan areas on Saturday, Monday and Wednesday, while the remaining days will be conducted online.
The Education Minister announced the decision at a press conference at the International Mother Language Institute in Dhaka's Segun Bagicha on Thursday afternoon.
''Right now, initiatives are being taken to launch this system as a ‘pilot project’ in renowned educational institutions in traffic-prone areas of Dhaka city.''
Milon said the government is going to start this 'blended education' or integrated education programme with those educational institutions having the capacity.
Of those, classes in person will be held on Saturday, Monday and Wednesday, while online classes (from home) will be held on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. There will be a weekly holiday in educational institutions on Friday.
Milon said even though students can join online classes from home, teachers will have to be present at their schools to conduct online classes.
