Govt Taking Preparation to Bring Children Back to Schools: PM

"We hope that good day might come in the future, our children will be able to go to their schools, they will do their studies normally. We're taking preparations to that end," she said.

The Prime Minister said this while speaking at the National Defence Course-2020 Graduation Ceremony and the Armed Forces War Course-2020 Graduation Ceremony at the National Defence College at the Sheikh Hasina Complex DSCSC in Mirpur Cantonment from her official residence in Ganobhaban, reports UNB.

She said that the government cannot open the schools for the COVID-19 and classes have been delivered through online and television.

"Above all, it creates a psychological pressure on the children if they cannot go to their schools," she said.

In this connection, she stated that the second wave of COVID-19 hit when the government was preparing to open up educational institutions.

Again, she encouraged everyone to follow health guidelines to prevent being infected with the coronavirus.

Lt Gen Ataul Hakim Sarwar Hasan, Commander of the National Defense College, also spoke at the program.
