Hamida Ali, principal of South Point School and College, said her institution has already applied for the approval of those campuses but the education board halted inspections due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The school is listed in the board’s database for running a co-education programme, but the authorities are running unapproved gender-specific campuses, putting the students in trouble, according to the government notice. Approval for South Point School and College expired in 2018 and the authorities issued permission for an institution-run committee under a special condition in 2019. Later in 2011, the board permitted South Point School and College to shift from 53/55, Rd 3, Gulshan-1 to 89 Malibagh Chowdhurypara. In addition to its campus in Malibagh Chowdhurypara, South Point has been running campuses in Gulshan, Uttara, Mirpur and other places without the approval from the board, according to students and their guardians.
