Education Minister Dipu Moni has said the government is thinking about reopening the schools and colleges on a limited scale after the end of the ongoing shutdown amid coronavirus outbreak on Saturday.
“We are working to decide whether we will reopen on the 15th (of November), or extend the shutdown further, or restart classes on a limited scale for some grades,” she said.
The minister came up with the statement while addressing a programme on Wednesday, reports bdnews24.com.
She added that the government will have to make a decision over the matter by November 14.
