The Directorate of Primary Education has issued a directive making health information mandatory in the unified admission form for all government primary schools across Bangladesh. The instruction, communicated through an official letter on Tuesday, requires that every district primary education officer be informed of the new requirement.

According to the directive, all government primary schools must include essential health-related details of students in a standardized admission form. The letter further states that for the current academic year, schools must record student admission data using this unified form and take necessary steps to implement the same process in the next academic year.

The move aims to ensure consistency in student data collection and streamline the admission process nationwide, aligning all government primary schools under a single documentation system.
