Sadrul Ain:
Students are getting a long vacation. Educational institutions will be closed for about 40 days starting today, including several important holidays including the holy month of Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr.
This holiday will start from Sunday (March 2) and will continue until April 8. This holiday is applicable to all levels of government and private schools.
According to the academic calendar, educational institutions will be closed from March 2 to April 8, including the holidays of Ramadan, Shuvo Doljatra, Independence Day, Jumatul Bida, Shab-e-Qadr, and Eid-ul-Fitr.
The last class was held on February 27 (Thursday) as Friday and Saturday were holidays on February 28 and March 1.
Accordingly, education will be closed for 40 consecutive days. In addition, SSC and equivalent examinations are starting on April 10. The holidays will be longer in institutions that have examination centers.
Heads of educational institutions said that holiday notices have already been issued in various educational institutions in the capital, announcing the holidays.
Educational institutions are going on a long vacation as the SSC exam holidays coincide with this year's Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr holidays.
However, the Department of Secondary and Higher Education has urged educational institutions to hold classes during the exam period.
