Secondary schools, colleges: In-person classes in full swing from Tuesday

Secondary and higher secondary schools will resume in-person classes on all subjects from March 15, said Education Minister Dipu Moni yesterday.

In-person classes in secondary and higher secondary schools resumed on February 22 on a limited scale.

Currently, SSC candidates are attending four classes a day and class-10 students three classes. Class-8 and 9 students attend three classes twice a week and class-6 and 7 students three classes.

The number of examinations will be reduced once the new curriculum is introduced, she said at the inauguration of Lila Nag Bhaban of Sher-e-Bangla Girls' College at Shere Bangla Balika Mahavidyalaya at Tikatuli in the capital yesterday.

"Students' fear of exams will go away. You can get out of the test-based assessment."

There will be daily reading evaluations and limited examinations at the end of the year. The final assessment will be done by adjusting the evaluation throughout the year, the minister added.
