DHAKA, 12 September 2021, (TON): At least 400 educational institutions, mostly primary schools, remains waterlogged due to flood and many of them will not be holding in-person classes.
Considering the situation, some school authorities decided to reopen their institutions once the water recedes while others decided to resume classes.
Students and teachers expressed their concerns saying the resumption of in-person classes would be difficult at the flood-hit schools.
Besides, at least 12 primary schools have already been eroded by adjoining rivers in three districts.
In Tangail, at least 245 primary schools remained waterlogged but the authorities decided to resume in-person classes.
Mohammad Ali Ahsan, assistant primary education officer in the district, said "we will open all the schools today. Considering the circumstances further decisions will be taken."
Students, however, expressed their concerns over the resumption of their in-person classes amid the flood.
