Dhaka, August 11 – Schools in the capital city of Dhaka have begun to slowly reopen, but the atmosphere remains tense, with parents and guardians still worried about the safety of their children. The city has witnessed a cautious return to classes on Sunday, the first working day of the week, as some schools have opened their doors while others remain closed.

The reopening is uneven, with a few private schools resuming in-person classes, while most government schools have stayed shut. Even among those that have reopened, student attendance is low, and a sense of unease prevails among both students and parents.

Some of the more prestigious schools in the city have opted not to reopen, instead continuing their educational programs online. Many parents have expressed their preference for this approach, citing concerns over road safety and the overall chaotic environment in the city. They are hopeful that the situation will stabilize soon, allowing all educational institutions to fully reopen in a secure and orderly manner.
