Education Minister A N M Ehsanul Haque Milon said no final decision has yet been made regarding the introduction of online classes in educational institutions due to the global energy crisis caused by the war situation in the Middle East. He made the remarks on Sunday, April 5, at the Secretariat while speaking to journalists.

The minister stated that a decision on implementing online and offline classes will be made within this week. Meetings with stakeholders are scheduled to take place in the next couple of days, followed by a final decision at the Cabinet meeting on Thursday. Earlier, Cabinet Secretary Nasimul Gani had said that the final decision on the matter would be known on Sunday, April 5, in light of the ongoing global energy challenges.

The government’s consideration of mixed-mode classes reflects its response to the energy crisis affecting educational operations, with a final policy direction expected soon.
