Legal notice seeks reopening of all edu institutions from January 16
A legal notice was served on the government yesterday, requesting it to reopen all the educational institutions from January 16.
Lawyer Faruque Alamgir Chowdhury sent the notice on behalf of Abdul Kaiyum Sarkar, principle of Bhawal Mirzapur Public School and College, to the education secretary and director general of the Directorate of Education for taking necessary steps in this regard.
Citing the notice, Chowdhury told The Daily Star that the educational institutions have remained closed since March last year due to the pandemic. The shutdown of the institutions was extended 11 times so far and therefore students have been facing its adverse impact, he added.
He said the government has announced that educational institutions will reopen on January 16. This notice has been served so that the shutdown is not extended as the situation is now improving, he added.
The lawyer also said his client will move a petition before the HC for necessary orders if the educational institutions are not reopened on January 16.
