Educational institutions open, but student attendance low
This news article from the Dhaka Tribune (published August 6, 2024) reports that educational institutions across Bangladesh were ordered to reopen following an extended closure caused by violence related to the quota reform student movement. Despite the official directive issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), student attendance remained low on the first day back, with school principals noting that fuller attendance was expected within a few days. The article also provides context, noting that schools had been progressively shut down starting July 16-18, 2024, and that the reopening coincided with the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the imposition of a nighttime curfew (12am–6am).
