In an effort to ensure that students remain focused on their studies and avoid involvement in disruptive activities, the government has implemented a ban on their participation in rallies and gatherings that are not related to education. The Ministry of Education has recently issued an official directive to the leaders of educational institutions, instructing them to enforce this measure.
According to a notice from the Secondary and Higher Education Division, heads of educational institutions are urged to encourage students' engagement in co-curricular activities that promote a balanced focus on education and classroom learning. The notice highlights a growing concern that students from schools and colleges in Dhaka, as well as other regions of the country, have been taking part in rallies and gatherings addressing issues unrelated to their education.
