Bangladesh reopens schools by despite heatwave alert extension.

Bangladesh continues to reopen schools in a brave step under hot temperatures. With temperatures rising and the heatwave alert extended by three days, educational institutions around the country have resumed in-person sessions.

This decision demonstrates the government’s commitment to combining educational continuity with the health and safety of students and staff. Authorities have urged schools to implement heat-reduction measures, emphasising the significance of hydration, regular breaks, and the availability of cool spaces on school grounds.

Capital According to meteorological statistics, the highest temperature in Dhaka on that day was 38.2 degrees. Over the last week, Dhaka’s average maximum temperature has been 4-5 degrees Celsius (7.2-9 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than the 30-year normal.

In Bangladesh, worried family members escorted their kids to the school gates on Sunday as lessons started.

A directive from education authorities announcing the resumption of classes said preschools would remain shut while primary school hours would be shortened.
