Secondary schools, colleges in 5 districts to remain shut tomorrow

All secondary schools, colleges, madrasas, and technical education institutions in Dhaka, Chuadanga, Jashore, Khulna, and Rajshahi districts will remain closed tomorrow due to the ongoing heatwave.

A notice was issued by the education ministry in this regard this evening, signed by its Information and Public Relations Officer MA Khair.

However, educational institutions which have air-conditioning system can remain open if they want. The next decision will be announced tomorrow, it added.

Meanwhile, no decision has been taken to shut primary schools tomorrow since most of their classes are held in the morning.

All primary and secondary schools, as well as colleges, reopened today after a long break that included the Eid-ul-Fitr and Pahela Baishakh holidays, and a week off due to the ongoing heatwave.
