Legal notice served on govt to reopen educational institutions from Jan 16
A legal notice was served on the government today requesting it to reopen all the educational institutions including schools and colleges across the country from January 16.
Lawyer Faruque Alamgir Chowdhury sent the legal notice on behalf of Abdul Kaiyum Sarkar, principal of Vawal Mirzapore Public School and College, to the education secretary and director general of the directorate of education for taking necessary steps to reopen the institutions.
Citing the notice, the lawyer told The Daily Star that the educational institutions are remaining closed since March last year due to ongoing Covid-19 pandemic hampering the study of the students.
The shutdown of the institutions was extended eleven times so far and therefore students have been facing adverse impact.
The lawyer also said his client will move a writ petition before the HC for necessary orders if the educational institutions are not reopened on January 16.
