Pre-primary schools in Bangladesh finally resumed in-person classes on Tuesday morning—after a two-year closure.
However, in-person classes will only be held on Sundays and Tuesdays for the time being.
The government on March 9 announced its decision to reopen pre-primary schools in light of the recent improvement in the country’s Covid-19 situation.
Bangladesh shut down all schools and educational institutions following the outbreak of Covid-19 in March 2020.
Although schools at other levels have since reopened, the government had till now decided to keep pre-primary schools closed, with classes being held online.
As a result, the experience of in-person classes was cut short for many while others had yet to see the inside of a classroom.
