The Directorate of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education wrote to the heads of the institutions on Friday asking them to complete the preparations within Feb 4 so that they can restart anytime amid the coronavirus crisis. All the educational institutions have been closed since mid-March 2020 due to the outbreak. Life has returned to almost normal even though some restrictions are in place, but the government has been insisting that the educational institutions will not reopen until the situation normalises. The directorate said it has made a guideline considering the importance of the health of the students, teachers and staff of the educational institutions. Education Minister Dipu Moni had earlier indicated that the schools and other educational institutions could reopen in February.
