Govt extends closure of educational institutions until Nov 14

The government has once again extended the closure of educational institutions until November 14 in a bid to contain the spread of coronavirus or Covid-19.

Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni came up with the announcement of extending the closure of educational institutions across the country on Thursday (October 29) at a press conference held virtually.

The education minister said, “The government is considering opening educational institutions on a limited scale if the situation is improved. Basically, the government is mulling this decision, thinking of those who are SSC and HSC examinees.”

The press conference was organised to brief the public about the ‘overall situation’ amid concerns of students and parents over the coronavirus outbreak.

All educational institutions remained closed from March 17 to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
