Addressing the chief guest at Webinar, the
Education Minister said that classes on television have been started within 12
days of the closure of educational institutions. There is no chance to deny
online classes. In addition to teaching in classrooms, online education
programmes should also be given importance. Which would have taken us a few
more years to start, we have just started because of the corona.
Emphasizing on technical education, he
said technical schools are being built in every upazila. Efforts are on to use
the degree certificates issued from them in equivalent institutions. Emphasis
is being given to ICT skills, language education, expansion of science
education. Foreign languages have now become tool. Communication skills,
collaboration skills, critical thinking skills need to be acquired.

Educational institutions in the country
have been closed since March 17 last year due to an upward infection of the
Corona epidemic. It was not possible to open even after announcing the date in
a few rounds. Frustration has filled the students. The question of when the
campus is opening is now in the mouth.
