Education ministry mulling hybrid classes at schools in metropolitan areas amid fuel crisis

The Ministry of Education is considering a hybrid model of
online and in-person classes at the schools in metropolitan areas due to the
ongoing fuel crisis.
Speaking to journalists at the
Secretariat today (31 March), Education Minister ANM Ehsanul Hoque Milon said
that a proposal will be presented and discussed at the upcoming Cabinet meeting
before a final decision is made.
A global energy shortage has
emerged amid ongoing tensions due to the US and Israel's war in Iran.
In this context, to conserve fuel nationwide, the
government is contemplating the introduction of online classes alongside
regular in-person sessions in schools across the country.
The minister further noted that
there are plans to keep schools open six days a week, with particular emphasis
on implementing online classes in metropolitan areas.
