Asked about his response, Deputy Education Minister Mohibul Hassan Chowdhury said the government is willing to reopen the educational institutions. "But we cannot reopen schools, colleges and universities right now due to the high transmission rate of coronavirus." The government is working to find how the educational institutions can reopen as soon as possible, he said. "Any decision regarding reopening of schools will be made only after consultation with the National Technical Advisory Committee on the Covid-19 and other stakeholders."
