Govt considering more classes in schools, colleges from January

Education Minister Dipu Moni today said the government is planning to increase the number of classes in schools and colleges from January next.

The minister said this while talking to local journalists after inaugurating a new complex of Palli Bidyut Samiti-2 at Raldia village in Chandpur.

She said it is not possible to take any immediate decision on increasing classes as some countries are seeing the third wave of Covid-19 infections.

"Classes have to be taken following health guidelines and maintaining social distance for now," said Dipu Moni.

"We don't even have enough space in classrooms to properly maintain the health guidelines. So, we'll think about increasing the number of classes from January if the Covid-19 situation remains under control," she added.
