In response to the scorching heat wave gripping the nation, Guardian Oykko Forum President, Ziaul Kabir Dulu urges for the continuation of educational activities through online platforms, without the need for extending leave. The forum highlights concerns over the prolonged closure of schools, colleges, and madrassas due to the extreme weather conditions.

The call for online classes comes following a notice issued to the media, stressing the importance of uninterrupted education amidst the heatwave. Initially, the Gurdian Oykko Forum had requested a seven-day closure of educational institutions due to the intense heat, which the government extended until April 27 in response. However, with the Ministry of Health advising for an additional week of closure in areas experiencing extreme heat, the Guardian Oykkya Forum suggests transitioning to online learning to ensure students' safety and academic continuity. Ziaul Kabir Dulu, the President of Guardian Oykkyo Forum, emphasizes the potential of online classes in mitigating the educational setbacks caused by extended closures. With concerns for students' health and the necessity of education, the forum advocates for the adoption of online learning as a viable solution during these challenging times.
