After a two-week long scorching heat, Dhaka University is gearing up to welcome students back to in-person classes and examinations. The decision comes as a relief to many amidst the shift to online learning during the closure period.
Confirming the move, the university`s public relations office issued a press release on Monday, signaling the resumption of on-campus activities. Throughout the heatwave-induced closure, classes and exams had been conducted virtually, ensuring continuity in education despite the challenging circumstances.
The university`s registrar had initially announced the closure through a notification on April 21, citing the widespread impact of the intense heatwave across the country. Concerns for students` health and well-being prompted the decision to transition to online learning until further notice.
In the notification, students were advised to vacate their dormitories and return home, emphasizing the importance of adhering to health guidelines to mitigate potential health risks. This precautionary measure aimed to safeguard the student community against the adverse effects of the extreme weather conditions.
Now, with the heatwave subsiding, the university is poised to resume regular operations, offering students the opportunity to engage in face-to-face interactions and benefit from on-campus learning experiences once again.
