Dateline 12 September: School-college cleaning work is going on

The Dhaka Times Desk School and college level educational institutions are opening on September 12. Schools and colleges are being washed and cleaned. Employees are working hard in this work.

Institution officials said that this cleaning work is being done as a part of completing some preparations before starting the teaching program due to being closed for a long time.

All educational institutions in the country have been closed since mid-March 2020 due to the Corona outbreak. Educational institutions were declared closed till September 11 after extending the holiday several times. However, the government has decided not to extend this holiday at the school and college level from September 12. That is why the teaching program of the students is going to start again from that day. The government has taken this decision as the corona situation in the country has improved a lot.

Going to some schools in the capital, it can be seen that the classrooms of the schools are being cleaned. Along with the benches and chairs, the rust of the window grills is also being removed. Those windows will be repainted.

The office room and teacher's room have already been cleaned and opened for official work. However, the classes were closed for a long time and turned into a mess. They are now being cleaned.

Educational institutions are also working to ensure health and safety after students come to the classroom. In several schools, it can be seen that the installation of disinfection tunnels is also in progress.

Disinfectant tunnels are being installed at the gates of many schools. Anyone entering the school will enter through this tunnel. After that, arrangements are being made to keep hand sanitizers, so that they can be used to enter the school. How to seat students as far away from each other as possible i.e. maintaining distance is also being taken into consideration. Looking at the situation of some schools, it can be understood that the school authorities are preparing the schools strictly following the hygiene rules.
