The ongoing heatwave has made day-to-day life difficult for all, with the government initially taking steps to protect schoolchildren from heat-related illnesses

The reopening of educational institutions amid the heatwave was marred by two teachers’ deaths and dozens of students becoming sick.

All primary and secondary schools, as well as colleges, reopened today after a long break that included the Eid-ul-Fitr and Pahela Baishakh holidays, and a week off due to the ongoing heatwave

As primary and secondary schools, along with colleges, reopen today, parents are expressing concerns about the scorching heat and its potential impact on their children’s health.

No assembly until heatwave reaches a tolerable level

The government today decided to reopen secondary schools, colleges, madrasas, and technical education institutions and asked the authorities concerned to resume regular classes and activities in those institutes from Sunday amid the ongoing heatwave

Decision on extending the closure of schools and colleges prompted by heatwave will be taken on Saturday, said State Minister for Education Shamsun Nahar

Other schools like kindergartens can follow the order if their authorities wish, says primary and mass education ministry
