The resumption came after UNICEF warned that prolonged school closures during the Covid-19 crisis were worsening inequities for millions of children across South Asia.
"We are really excited to be back at school," 15-year-old Muntasir Ahmed told AFP as he entered the campus.At the gate, school officials checked the body temperatures of students before allowing them to enter. Only 41 percent of Bangladesh's 169 million population have smartphones, according to the country's telecom operators' association, which means millions of children cannot access online classes.
"School closures in South Asia have forced hundreds of millions of children and their teachers to transition to remote learning in a region with low connectivity and device affordability," UNICEF's regional director, George Laryea-Adjei, said in a statement.In India, 80 percent of children aged 14-18 years said they learnt less than when they were in a physical classroom, according to UNICEF.
