Education Minister Dr. A N M Ehsanul Haque Milon held a meeting with primary school teachers and headmasters to discuss introducing both online and in-person classes in government primary schools across metropolitan areas. The proposal aims to address the national energy crisis affecting the country. The meeting took place at the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education, where the minister outlined a plan for six weekly classes, with three conducted online and three in person.

Teachers expressed opposition to the online class proposal, citing difficulties in implementing such a system at the primary level. They noted that young students lack the skills to use digital devices and that many families cannot afford or manage online participation. Several teachers requested government support to provide necessary devices if the plan moves forward.

According to an official from the Directorate of Primary Education, no final decision has been made yet. The minister had earlier mentioned that similar hybrid arrangements were being considered for all metropolitan educational institutions except universities to manage the ongoing energy crisis.
