The Ministry of Primary and Mass Education has issued guidelines for primary schools that are going to be opened on Sunday after an extended closure due to the prolonged hot weather following the Eid-ul-Fitr holidays.
According to UNB, school hours will be limited to the cooler morning hours, from 8:00 am to 11:30 am. For schools operating in two shifts, the first shift will run from 8:00 am to 9:30 am and the second from 9:45 am to 11:30 am.
Despite these changes, pre-primary level classes will remain closed until further notice, and daily school assemblies will be suspended to avoid prolonged exposure to the heat.
The decision follows a similar action taken for secondary level schools and colleges, which are set to reopen on the same day, April 28.
