It is the need of the hour to open educational institutions

Hasanuzzaman Buses, trains, planes, steamers are running. Markets, markets and even shopping malls have been opened. People have started moving freely on the roads. Employees are rushing to work. So opening educational institutions is the demand of time.

Businessmen go to their establishments and take care of business. Tourists flock for entertainment. Entertainment centers Cox's Bazar, Rangamati, Bandarban, Sundarbans have been opened. Life goes on. Life doesn't stop.

Only educational institutions are closed. Many were hopeful that the government would open educational institutions in the first week of September. But that expectation was not fulfilled. There is also confusion about when the educational institutions will open. The pressure on the government to open educational institutions is increasing day by day. Why the government is so ambivalent about this matter is also a matter of thought.

It is necessary to ensure that students are vaccinated before the opening of educational institutions. Vaccination was targeted until age twenty-five. The government is now talking about coming down to eighteen. Especially university students have been brought under vaccination. Their age doesn't matter. This means that only those who have passed out of college and are admitted to university can take this initiative. It takes fourteen to fifteen years to go from school to college. That means college boys and girls are not able to take advantage of the vaccine as per the government rules. It is not possible to open colleges if importance is given to non-vaccination as the main condition for opening educational institutions. Then there is secondary and primary. Now children are also getting infected with corona.

Vaccination of students should have been thought of earlier. It would have been easier to open schools and colleges if the vaccine could be ensured. Already two to two and a half million people have taken the vaccine in the country. But everything is opened up. However, various things are being heard in tea shop chat about why educational institutions will not be opened. The cynics are saying that the government had to burn a lot of wood to suppress the movement that was created among the students after the death of two students in a bus accident in Dhaka. At that time, the possession of the entire streets of Dhaka went into the hands of the students. A class of influential people in the country do not want to obey the law. They move on the road as they wish. Students did not exempt them. They have been politely shown that if you want to walk on the road, you have to follow the rules of the road. The students explained that the law is equal for all. Such practical experience is not easily erased from the government's mind.

If schools and colleges in the country are opened, where is the guarantee that students will not die due to corona? What can be said that the students will not be angry about the death? Workers of opposition political parties are also waiting to take to the streets. If political party workers enter the students' movement, which way will the situation go? As a result, it is not unusual for such an event to boomerang in a big way for the government. The government can think about these things.

Students are not able to go to school and college for a year and a half. They are now far away from education. Sports, chat everything is closed. This life is not a normal life. Many have become ill. Still waiting for the government to open the educational institutions. In some parts of the country, students are taking to the streets to demand the opening of educational institutions.

The countrymen have also seen the scene of university teachers taking classes in the open. All eyes are now on schools and colleges. The only demand of the boys and girls is that they want to go and study in their educational institutions.
