Two primary school students, Junayet from Patuakhali’s Dashmina upazila and Sifatulllah Siam from Pirojpur’s Mathbaria upazila, fell ill in their classrooms on Saturday during an ongoing heatwave. Both fourth-grade students fainted while classes were in session and received primary treatment. Teachers said the incidents occurred due to extreme heat and lack of electricity during class hours.
Earlier, a third-grade student named Amena Akter from Cumilla’s Makrampur Government Primary School had also fainted in class on Thursday. Parents and teachers attributed the incidents to the combination of intense heat and frequent load-shedding, which left classrooms without fans. Teachers reported that many students were suffering from dizziness, vomiting, and weakness, while normal teaching activities were being disrupted.
The Bangladesh Primary Teachers’ Association urged the government to adjust school hours so that classes end by noon to protect children from rising temperatures. The Directorate of Primary Education declined to comment, calling it a policy matter, and the state minister for primary and mass education could not be reached for response.
