❐ BD Digest Desk

The Ministry of Primary and Mass Education has issued a notification publishing the list of holidays for government primary schools.

According to the schedule, primary schools will be on holiday from tomorrow, Thursday, February 19th, to Thursday, March 26th. Students will return to school on Sunday, March 28th, after a 38-day holiday.

The notification states that the Ministry has approved the revised list of holidays and curriculum for the academic year 2026 (1432-1433 Bengali) of government primary schools in memorandum No. 38.00.0000.007.08.002.2021-846 dated December 30, 2025, as follows.

It also said that there will be holidays in primary schools in the country from Thursday, February 19 to Thursday, March 26 (Independence Day) on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan, the advent of Sri Sri Harichand Thakur, Shab-e-Qadr (March 17), Jumatul-Bida (March 20), and Eid-ul-Fitr (March 21).

However, there was no preparation in the schools today regarding the news of the holiday after the evening and the possible schedule of the holiday. As a result, there was no opportunity to give students any idea about the homework for the closure or the schedule after the closure. This caused intense anger among the parents.
