Lottery for admissions to the 683 government schools across the country from class I to IX, which was scheduled for tomorrow, has been postponed, the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education said today.
DSHE Director General Prof Syed Md Golam Faruk, in a circular this evening, said that the scheduled lottery was temporarily cancelled as a writ petition on the digital lottery system was pending with the High Court.
The new date of the lottery will be fixed soon, he also said.
When the Covid-19 outbreak led to a closure of educational institutions in late March, students, guardians and teachers alike speculated that the disruption would last a few months.
But with a continuous surge in infections and deaths, the pandemic is now likely to keep many students out of the classrooms until well into 2021.
It has changed how students are being taught, and left the education system scrambling to meet the needs of schools, families and over four crore students over the last year.
With traditional classroom learning coming to a complete halt, the pandemic compelled the government to take measures like promoting students to the next class without having them sit for final exams a move not seen in recent memory. It also caused many private schools, especially kindergartens, to close down for good.
