The government has extended the shutdown of educational institutions for a fourth time as it grapples with an escalating coronavirus outbreak.
Schools will now remain closed until Apr 25 in line with the nationwide extended lockdown, the education ministry said on Friday.
The ongoing shutdown of schools was initially set to be lifted on Mar 31 but was later extended to Apr 14.
Coaching centres across the country will remain closed as well until Apr 25.
The state-run Sangsad Bangladesh Television has been broadcasting pre-recorded lessons for secondary and primary school students from Mar 19 and Apr 7 respectively.
The students of grades one to 10 are expected to do a set of homework after taking the classes and submit it to their teachers once schools reopen.
The scores obtained on the homework assignments, done by the secondary-level students, will be considered a part of their continuous assessment.
