Primary and secondary schools will remain open during Ramadan, according to a new decision of the Appellate division of the Supreme Court on Tuesday.
That allows the government to keep the primary and secondary schools nationwide running for the first 10 and 15 days respectively in the month of Ramadan.
The order passed by a three member bench chaired by Chief Justice Obaidul Hassan, suspended the High Court’s earlier order to keep primary and secondary schools open during Ramadan on Sunday.
The Ministry of Education circulated a notification regarding this.
Earlier the government modified the holiday list for educational institutions on February 8, deciding to keep the secondary school activities to be going on for the first 15 days of Ramadan.
Challenging the legitimacy of that decision Supreme Court lawyer Md. Elias Ali Mondal filed a writ petition with the High Court On February 25.
The rule made Secretaries and deputy secretaries of the Primary and Mass Education Ministry, the director general of the Primary Education Directorate, and the director of the Children Welfare Trust to make the response.
