Primary schools will not open until the coronavirus situation is normal, said the Minister of State for Primary and Mass Education. Zakir Hossain. The minister of state was answering a question from journalists at a press conference in his office on Sunday on the occasion of International Literacy Day.
Currently, the literacy rate in the country is 74.6 percent, said the Minister of State for Primary and Mass Education. Zakir Hossain. “We have taken several steps to increase literacy to 100 percent,” he said.
The press conference was attended by senior ministry officials, including Chief Secretary Akram Al Hossain.
Highlighting various issues in primary education, the chief secretary said: “We have taken various measures to prevent school dropouts and increase the literacy rate among the elderly.”
In response to a question, Akram Al Hossain said that it is not possible to say with certainty when it will be possible to open an educational institution in the Corona situation. Schools will receive an instruction on the harm done to the education of students in Corona. If the situation is normal, the school authorities will try to overcome it by making a brief syllabus and taking classes on holidays.
The top secretary said that if the school does not reopen due to the Corona situation, the elementary school will not take the annual exam. It is not known when it will be possible to open an educational institution in the Corona situation. However, two short programs have been prepared and finalized in preparation for the opening of the school in October and November. Students will be promoted to the next class through class evaluation by reading the program for the month in which school will open. If the school is not open, it will not be possible to take tests and evaluations.
Akram Al Hossain added: “Many kindergarten schools in Corona may be closed. We have instructed to enroll in the government elementary schools that will be in the vicinity of those schools. They have told him to be admitted wherever he wants.
