Two-day weekend for primary and secondary schools from 2023

Education minister Dipu Moni on Saturday said all educational institutions will have a two-day weekend from next year.

The minister came up with this announcement at an event at National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) in capital’s Motijheel.

In the event, students were handed over the books made in the light of fresh curriculum.

Dipu Moni said a two-day weekend has been fixed after it was recommended by the prime minister Sheikh Hasina. The decision will be effective from 2023.

"When the curriculum outline was presented before the prime minister, she said primary students should also get a two-day vacation per week," she added.
