Schools to reopen if Covid situation improves further: State Minister

State minister for Primary and Mass Education Zakir Hossain said, all educational institutions will reopen if the coronavirus situation improves further. 

He said this while replying to queries of newsmen at the secretariat on Tuesday (August 24).  

“Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has directed to reopen schools soon. The ministry took all-out preparations for the reopening and is waiting for the PM’s signal. If she directs, we are all set to reopen,” the state minister said.  

“Despite reopening, all students will not join clases same day. Decision will be taken considering the situation. Decision on whether or not the completion exam will be taken in-person or evaluation,” Zakir Hossain said. 

“As much as 85 percent of teachers have been inoculated so far. The remaining will be done soon,” he went saying.
