‘Reopen educational institutions now’
Students of different institutions formed human chains across the country yesterday, demanding reopening of all educational institutions immediately.
Students of schools, colleges and universities under the banner of "General Students" took part in human chains held in front of Dhaka's Jatiya Press Club, Jahangirnagar University, Tangail Shaheed Minar, Haji Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University in Dinajpur, and Satmatha in Bogura town.
They said fates of millions of students in the country are at stake due to closure of educational institutions for over a year.
Students are becoming extremely frustrated because of session jams, and many are not able to attend online classes because of the digital divide -- lack of access to devices and internet, they added.
They requested the government to reopen all educational institutions with health directives, after the recent decision to reopen restaurants, shopping malls, and resume public transport services.
They vowed to organise further protests, if their demands are not met immediately, report our correspondents.
