Class 5 students, SSC and HSC candidates to have regular classes from Sept 12

All schools and colleges are set to reopen in phases from September 12, said Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni today.

The decision came during an inter-ministerial meeting at the Secretariat in Dhaka this afternoon.

SSC and HSC examinees of the year 2021 and 2022 and students of class-5 who will sit for primary education completion exam will have regular classes.

Students of classes 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 will come to class only one day per week, said the minister.

“We have fully prepared for reopening school and colleges on the 12th. But if there is anything that needs to be completed, it will be done by September 9,” she said.

“Wearing masks and social distancing must be maintained at all time on the campus premises. There will be adequate arrangements for sanitisers and other hygiene products,” Dipu Moni added.
