State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Zakir Hossain said schools, closed since March last year due to Covid-19 pandemic, will be reopened after getting directives from the highest level of the government.
“We can’t reopen the schools suddenly. We have taken all-out preparations and if the Prime Minister orders us today we are prepared to reopen schools from tomorrow,” he told reporters at the Secretariat.
Zakir said experts favour reopening of schools as the students are out of classes for the past one and half years.
“We also face problems in online,” he said.
