All the educational institutions in the country have been closed for about four months due to the outbreak of coronavirus. Holidays have been announced in the school till August 8. Educational institutions will not open after the end of this holiday, the holiday will increase. In the current situation, the educational activities will continue through online platforms and parliamentary television. According to the Ministry of Education and Primary and Mass Education, there is no possibility of opening an educational institution until the situation in Corona returns to normal.
For several days now, rumors have been circulating on social media that some fake IDs will be used to open educational institutions after Eid. Teachers-students-parents are getting confused in this. Many parents are also communicating with school teachers.
However, last Thursday, the Minister of Education. Dipu Moni said in a statement, ‘Through social media, a class of people are spreading false propaganda on various issues related to education. We have not yet taken any decision on opening educational institutions after Eid. But sometimes a campaign is being run in our name under the name of National Board of Education. In fact, there is no education board called the National Board of Education.
Dipu Moni said, ‘I request the field level officials, teachers and parents to be aware of this. When the time comes, we will inform through the media, when the educational institution will be opened, when the examination will be taken. The minister warned that legal action would be taken if rumors were spread or any attempt was made to spread rumors about education.
Senior Secretary of the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education May. Akram-al-Hussein told Kaler Kanth, “If the situation in Corona is not normal, there is no possibility of opening an educational institution.” .But we have to see the current situation till next September. The next decision will be taken after considering the situation.
Mohammadpur Kislay girls’ school and college principal. Rahmat Ullah told Kaler Kanth, “Many parents want to know when the school will open. In the current situation, most of them are against opening schools. I think the idea of opening a school-college should be considered only when all kinds of office-courts come to normal. If students are attacked in a hurry, they will be in big danger. .And whenever educational institutions are opened, children’s institutions have to be opened in phases from adult institutions. ‘
The countries of the world that have almost conquered Corona have already opened schools. However, after Corona, various steps have been taken to open the school. In particular, children wash their hands when entering school, maintain social distance by reducing the number of students in the class, take safety measures when coming and going, etc. In addition, the number of students per class in their schools is between 20 to 30. .But in Bangladesh there are 40 to 100 students in a class. As a result, it is not possible to fully follow the hygiene rules here.
Former education secretary Nazrul Islam Khan told Kaler Kanth, “Our future will be different. For this, the educational institutions have to prepare in advance. .In the future some classes will have to be taken live, some online and some offline. The role of teachers also needs to change. They will be like guides. The test method also needs to be changed. Teachers should be prepared in advance by the Ministry of Education and the Department
