Schools can’t be kept open if pandemic spreads: PM


Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday directed the Education Ministry to continue their online education programmes as the Corona infection rate goes up and down.

Mentioning that it was noticed that the outbreak of this pandemic witnessed a surge immediately after the winter season, she said the Education Ministry will have to take preparations from right now to continue the online education programmes in the case of possible surge in Covid-19 infections.

“Since it would not be possible to keep schools open in case of a fresh outbreak of Covid-19, you’ll have to take measures to ensure the access of online teaching to every house,” she said.

She also urged guardians to assist students over online education.
The Prime Minister said this while addressing a function at the city’s Bangabandhu International Conference Centre, joining it virtually from her official residence Ganobhaban.

At the function, she published the results of Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and its equivalent examinations-2021 and inaugurated the distribution of free textbooks among students up to the secondary level for the academic year of 2022.

The Prime Minister reiterated her call to all to get vaccinated against Covid-19 as the government is going to take the vaccination drive to the grassroots level.

“We’ve already decided to continue the vaccination programme through every community clinic and health centre so that rural people can take jabs soon. No one should remain unvaccinated. All must avail of it,” she said, adding that many people still show reluctance to receive the vaccine.

Hasina said since the Covid-19 jabs will be given through community clinics or other health centres, all of those who have not yet received the vaccine will have to take it.

Noting that the government has already vaccinated the teachers of educational institutes, she said now the jabs are being given to students.
