Govt Considering Online and Offline Classes in Schools: Education Minister
Education and Primary & Mass Education Minister Dr. A N M Ehsanul Haque Milon has said that the government is considering introducing a mix of online and offline classes in schools across metropolitan areas due to the global fuel crisis.
He made the remark on Tuesday (31 March) while replying to a question from journalists at the Secretariat.
The minister said: “We have discussed the possibility of shifting all types of Bangla and English medium schools to a combined online and offline mode. However, no decision has been taken yet. We will present our plan at the Cabinet meeting on Thursday. Whatever decision is made there will be implemented.”
He added: “The Prime Minister has given various directives for fuel conservation in the country. As part of this, there is a plan to keep schools open for six days a week instead of five and run at least some classes online and offline. Especially in metropolitan areas, there is a plan to introduce online-based classes.”
