The second wave of Corona is starting in Bangladesh. However, Health Minister Zahid Malek said that the second wave of coronavirus infection in the country has already started and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has indicated that maximum preparation be taken to deal with it. The National Technical Advisory Committee on Kovid-19 is also working.

A recent survey found that the number of daily diagnoses in the country has fallen below 2,000 in the past three weeks, and the number of daily deaths has been cut in half. Although the number of tests is much lower, the detection rate has dropped to around 10 percent per day compared to tests.

The study found that one of the sectors most affected by the Corona epidemic so far is the country’s education system. The PEC and JSC exams have already been canceled due to the epidemic. HSC exams are also stagnant. In general, many of the presidents of the boards of education consider that the situation is not yet conducive to the opening of educational institutions. Therefore, the license of the educational institution may increase again. Sources from the ministry and management have hinted at it.

The Ministry of Primary and Mass Education has also published a short lesson plan that indicates an increase in the number of holidays in educational institutions. On September 18, the National Academy of Elementary Education (NAPE) released a short lesson plan for grades one through five for 39 days beginning November 1.

Md Akram-al-Hossain, chief secretary of the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education, told the media at the time that he had made two lesson plans for October and November. A short lesson plan will be implemented from November considering the situation. No instructions yet on opening in October. If the situation improves, action will be taken according to the government’s decision. And if the school cannot reopen in November, then what the Prime Minister has said is that there is no way out without car passes.

On the other hand, in the current situation, educators think that opening an educational institution will not be a sign of wisdom. Former Vice Chancellor of the University of Dhaka. Teacher. AAMS Arefin Siddique told Naya Digant that those who have public health experts on opening educational institutions are the general situation; Considering the world situation. However, we do not believe that there is any opportunity to open an educational institution as long as the risk of corona infection is high. Because students are the resources of the future Bangladesh. They cannot be put at risk to health in any way. Therefore, before opening educational institutions, educational institutions and institutions related to education, such as museums, public libraries, have to make a little more careful decision before opening them. In that case, it is not just your own country; It is also important to watch what neighboring countries are deciding, especially in countries with high levels of infection. In other words, it is recommended that we make a holistic decision by combining our own experience with world experience on the situation to which the Corona situation has led us.

He added that the Prime Minister’s warning about the second Corona wave was also significant. We must also take it into account when making decisions. Because winter is coming. Colds and coughs are more common in winter. If they grow up and have coronary heart disease, it is easy to understand the complexity of the situation.

Dhaka University students have recently organized a human chain to demand the opening of the university corridors. However, there are still no signs of the university opening. If you want to know the location of the university with the opening of the campus, DU VC Prof. Md. Akhtaruzzaman told Naya Digant that students have to go through various challenges in life. As a result, they make different demands like opening hallways or universities from different locations. This is not unusual. But we have to think about the risks to the health of the students. Their family’s health cares about them too.

“We are still on the road to social security, all kinds of facilities,” said Professor Akhtaruzzaman. “Ultimately, the suffering falls on the students and their families.” We have a decision to make after thinking about many more things, including this topic.

Emphasizing the potential for crown outbreaks in winter, he said: “Although we have special differences with winter in Europe and America, we must consider what winter biologists and virologists say about winter.” In winter it becomes more difficult to maintain social distance. Apart from that, we have no chance to ignore the place of the Prime Minister’s thoughts.

By the way, after the first corona patient was identified in the country on March 6, since March 16 all kinds of educational institutions in the country have been closed. The government has announced a holiday in educational institutions until October 3, increasing it by several points. In addition to teaching classes on Sangsad TV and radio, online teaching has continued to maintain continuity of teaching at the time of the closure of educational institutions. The online teaching process is also taking place in universities.
