The government has extended closure of all educational institutions till October 31, as a preventive measure against further spread of coronavirus.
A press release signed by Abul Khayer, public relations officer of primary and mass education ministry, confirmed the matter on Thursday.
Earlier in March, the government ordered all the schools, colleges and universities across the country to close down soon after the first cases of Covid-19 in Bangladesh were reported on March 8.
The shutdown has since been extended several times, with the latest one issued on Thursday.
