Dr. Mahbubur Razzak, a professor and head of the Mechanical Engineering Department at BUET, has called for revising the current school schedule that mandates classes from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. He argues that this timing, especially during the intense summer months, causes discomfort and health risks for students. He observed that afternoon attendance drops significantly due to the heat, and many students suffer from exhaustion and dehydration. He suggests that classes should start at 8 a.m. and end before lunch to avoid the harsh midday sun.
Razzak emphasizes that the current schedule leaves no time for physical exercise or creative activities, leading to growing dependence on digital devices and declining physical and mental health among students. He proposes that schools make sports a compulsory part of education and develop necessary infrastructure such as playgrounds and sports facilities. He also recommends introducing district-level school sports competitions and training teachers to supervise these activities.
According to him, finishing academic sessions before lunch would not only protect students from heat but also promote a healthier, more active generation.
