T&T High School in Dhaka’s Motijheel is preparing to welcome students back to the classroom following the government decision to end the coronavirus-induced shutdown of educational institutions on Sept 12 after one and a half years. The absence of students for a long time has allowed grasses, weeds, and unwanted plants to grow on the playground of the school while the swings and slides have become rusty. Photo: Asif Mahmud Ove
