All secondary and higher secondary educational institutions across the country will organise discussion sessions to emphasise the significance of March 26, which Bangladesh observes as its Independence Day. Similarly, on March 25, observed as Genocide Day, schools, colleges, and other institutions will host remembrance sessions featuring distinguished figures and freedom fighters, who will share their experiences and insights on the genocide and the Liberation War. In an order issued on Monday, the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education, or DSHE, instructed all government and non-government schools, colleges, teachers' training colleges and higher secondary teacher training institutes to arrange these programmes at a convenient time to mark both occasions, bdnews24.com reports. Between March 20 and 25, national-level essay and recitation competitions will be organised to commemorate Independence and National Day. Various sporting events, including football, T20 cricket, and kabaddi tournaments, will be held at the district and Upazila levels, involving students from schools and colleges.
