In 2009, the High Court issued a directive that requires active anti-sexual harassment cells in all educational institutions and workplaces. The landless organisations used RTI to find out how many schools in their locality had complied with the HC directive.

Why is it taking so long to implement High Court directive to stop sexual harassment?

Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni today (June 10, 2022) expressed hope that the ministry would be able to publish the new list of educational institutions which will be brought under the monthly payment order (MPO) scheme within a week.

The government has extended the ongoing closure of all educational institutions across the country till August 31, aiming at slowing down further spread of coronavirus in the country.

Educational institutions can keep their offices open for administrative work such as enrollment of students, maintenance of laboratories, libraries and cleaning up the campus, the education ministry said today.

Some 2,730 new educational institutions have been enlisted under the monthly pay order (MPO) scheme across the country as the prime minister disclosed names of the newly enlisted institutes.

An educational institution is the holiest place for students. It is considered as a safe haven for students as it is a trusted space for learning and sharing knowledge.

Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid yesterday asked the educational institutions to return within seven working days the additional money they had collected as tuition fees and registration fees for the SSC examinations.

The government directs the country’s all educational institutions to beef up their security measures.

The chiefs of school, college, madrasa and technical educational institutions will inspect other similar institutions from now on to evaluate their performance, Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid says today.

Finance minister's proposed 10 percent value added tax (VAT) on around 160 private sector universities including medical and engineering colleges has not found favour with those who have been targeted.
