More educational institutions set to reopen in Bangladesh

DHAKA, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) — The Bangladeshi government has instructed all the educational institutions across the country to resume academic activities from Aug. 18 after about one month of closure.
Bangladesh’s Ministry of Education issued an order to resume academic activities at all the educational institutions at secondary and higher secondary levels on Thursday.
According to the notification, the chief advisor has given instructions to reopen educational institutions and resume academic activities.
Relevant authorities are requested to take necessary measures.
Earlier, primary schools across Bangladesh reopened on Wednesday.
All the educational institutions at secondary and higher secondary levels, as well as polytechnic institutes were declared closed for an indefinite period from July 17 amid tension over students’ demonstration that subsequently toppled Sheikh Hasina’s government on Aug. 5. ■
