Education Minister Dr. Dipu Moni has said that classes will
start from February 22 at the secondary and higher secondary and university
level. She made the remarks at a press conference at the Secretariat on
Thursday (February 17th).
Education Minister Dr. Dipu Moni said physical education in
educational institutions is closed till February 21 due to corona. We had a
meeting with the National Technical Committee on Covid-19. They have suggested
starting physical education in the classroom from February 22 and according to
that, physical education will start in school-college from February 22.
She said that strict hygiene rules have to be followed in
case of physical teaching. We will keep the number of classes as low as before
and will try to increase it gradually according to the situation.
The minister said only those students who have been
vaccinated with the second dose of corona will be able to take physical
classes. Others will take classes online or on television.
She further said that 1 crore 26 lakh 57 thousand 222
students of secondary level have received 1st dose vaccine. Almost everyone has
received the first dose of the vaccine. And 34 lakh 40 thousand 448 people got
the second dose of vaccine. We hope to be able to administer the second dose to
most students by February 21.
Regarding the primary students, the education minister said
that the primary classes will be conducted online. Primary students have not
yet been vaccinated due to lack of guidelines from the World Health
Organization. However, in the meantime, initiatives have been taken to
vaccinate students under the age of 12. The matter is being looked into by the
Ministry of Health and the Department of Health. They will also be vaccinated
if approved by the World Health Organization.
She said the infection is rapidly declining. The National
Technical Advisory Committee hopes that this trend will continue. So we will
wait a few more days and hope to be able to bring elementary students into the
classroom after 10 days or two weeks of school-college-university opening on
22nd February.
Earlier, at a meeting of the National Technical Advisory
Committee on Covid-19 held virtually on Wednesday (February 16) at 10 pm, the
Ministry of Education was advised to open all educational institutions.
It is to be noted that, the government has imposed 11-point
restrictions since January 13 to prevent corona infection. Then, on January 21,
the Cabinet Division issued five new directives including closure of
educational institutions. It directed to close the educational institution till
February 6. However, the government decided to extend the leave for two more
weeks.
