Schools to pilot blended learning with 3-day online classes a week: Edu minister

Education Minister ANM Ehsanul Hoque Milon has announced
piloting a hybrid class routine for students, with three days of in-person
classes and the remaining days conducted online.
Under the new schedule starting
from tomorrow (10 April), physical classes will be held on Saturday, Monday,
and Wednesday, while the other days will shift to online learning. Friday will
remain the weekly holiday.
The minister made the announcement
today (9 April) while speaking as the chief guest at the inaugural ceremony of
a national workshop on incorporating technical courses into the National
University curriculum.
The event was held at the conference room of the
International Mother Language Institute in the capital.
Highlighting challenges in the
current system, the education minister said the lengthy board examination
process is wasting valuable time for students, which could harm future
generations.
He noted that excessive time spent
on setting question papers, evaluating answer scripts, and publishing results
is causing delays in students' academic progression.
"While officials may benefit
from the current system, students are losing up to two years of their academic
life. This is unacceptable," he added.
