Teachers will no longer be able to give any sort of private lessons to students in classrooms of government primary schools. The Directorate of Primary Education on Tuesday issued a directive instructing school administrations to stop all sorts of coaching, private tuition, and other activities outside the school curriculum. The decision follows the report of rape of a fifth grader who allegedly went to a government primary school for private lessons in Thakurgaon. The directive was sent to all divisional deputy directors, PTI superintendents, district primary education officers and Upazila secondary education officers on Monday. The family of the student said Manik used to give private lessons to students on holidays.
