The educational institutions across the country are likely to remain shut for more days as a favourable environment has not been created yet to reopen those.    But no concrete decision has been made on the duration of the closure of educational institutions, said an official of the Education Ministry.    When asked, Akram Al-Hossain, senior secretary to the Primary and Mass Education Ministry, said no decision was taken on extension of holidays.    “The decision will be made in accordance with the suggestion of the technical committee and in consultation with the Education Ministry,” he added.   The government announced general holidays in late March in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak and shut all educational institutions. 

All the educational institutions in Bangladesh were shut down in March 2020 when Covid-19 hit the country, a move hailed by students and guardians alike.
