GAIBANDHA, May 19, 2021 (BSS)- Speakers in a function here yesterday underscored the need for completing academic activities of high schools and colleges of Sundarganj upazila here through online classes.
“As the institutions are closed due to the coronavirus pandemic situation, most of the students are passing their valuable times through browsing FaceBook, YouTube and other internet related activities and loitering. They are not interested at all to sit down at their reading tables to study academic books,” they said.
They made the comments while addressing an opinion exchange meeting on holding online classes at the auditorium of Sundarganj Upazila Parishad in the district on Tuesday.

Shahjahan Miah, HT of Belka MC High School Ahsan Habib Khokon and HT of Fazlul Haque High School Md. Akhteruzzaman Sarker.

The UNO urged all teachers to hold virtual quality and attractive classes for the students so that they are book oriented and become busy with their studies.
After elaborate discussion, many pragmatic decisions were also adopted to make online classes for the students of high schools and colleges of the upazila effective and fruitful.
