The government has again extended the closure of all educational institutions of the country until January 16, due to a recent surge in numbers of fatalities and infections from the novel coronavirus in Bangladesh.
The information was disclosed in a notification signed by Mohammad Abul Khayer, public relations officer of the Ministry of Education.
On March 16, the government closed all educational institutions to prevent the spread of coronavirus. No classes have been held since that day and the closure has been extended several times in the past months.
Although activities at both government and private offices were gradually restored, educational institutions have not been reopened.
The duration of previously announced closure of educational institutions is scheduled to end on December 19.
