Despite the mild cold wave persisting in Kurigram, the district education authorities have ordered the reopening of secondary schools while the primary schools continue to remain closed. District Primary Education Officer Nabej Uddin clarified that, in line with government directives, the shutdown of all primary education institutions in the district was ordered starting January 18 when temperatures fell below 10 degrees Celsius. Since the current temperature remains below 9 degrees Celsius, schools continue to remain closed, he added. However, a letter signed by District Education Officer Shamsul Alam states that teaching activities will resume in all secondary education institutions in the district on January 29. The decision to resume secondary-level schools was made following instructions from the district education officer, said Harun Ar Rashid Milon, the principal of Kurigram Collectorate School and College.
