The government is planning to introduce a blended education system combining online and in-person classes in response to the current energy situation, said Education Minister ANM Ehsanul Haque Milon on Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters at the Secretariat, the minister said discussions are underway at the policymaking level and a proposal will soon be placed before the Cabinet for approval.
He noted that authorities are considering keeping educational institutions open six days a week to make up for recent disruptions in academic schedules caused by Ramadan holidays, various protests, and other factors.
The minister added that greater emphasis is being placed on online classes in metropolitan areas as part of efforts to ensure continuity in education while addressing energy-related challenges.
