Schools have been allowed to open just recently from 3rd of this month in Chakma Autonomous District Council after a series of meeting with all stake holders. To this effect a notification was issued by Education Departments, CADC with advisories to be adhered to, by the schools in view of the Covid-19 pandemic. This has been made possible with the district authority issuing a general notification outlining conditions for reopening of schools within the district.

Today, the two officers met the students and the teachers on duty. Teachers still not reporting for duty were sought. Problems and issues were discussed. Response of students and rate of student turn out were assessed. Availability of text books was enquired and teachers have been requested to submit requirement at the earliest.

The teachers were also urged to cooperate with the appointees engaged for the National Achievement Survey of Ministry of Education scheduled on 12th of this month to assess the learning achievement of children.
