Secondary schools, colleges and universities across Bangladesh reopened on February 22 with limited in-person classes after a month-long closure due to a fresh wave of Covid-19 infections.

On January 21, the government announced the closure of schools, colleges and equivalent educational institutions across the country till February 6 to contain Covid-19.

The closure of educational institutions was later extended for two weeks.

Earlier, the government kept all educational institutions shut for more than one and a half years between March 18, 2020 and September 11, 2021 due to the Covid situation.
