River devours two-thirds of pry school in Bogra

Students of Debdanga Masipara Government Primary School in Kutubpur union under Sariakandi upazila of the district have been attending classes at a small tin-shed house for over two months as two of the three rooms of the school went under water due to erosion by the River Bangalee in August.

Since then the authorities are holding classes at the tin-shed house near the school, said teachers and guardians.

Academic activities of at least 100 students at the school are being seriously hampered as the playground and classrooms were devoured by the river, they said.

The students find it difficult to complete their syllabus as the final examination is knocking at the door.

Despite repeated pleas, the authorities concerned are yet to take any steps to resolve the problem, alleged the guardians.

Umme Habiba, headmaster of the school, said they have been trying to recoup the academic losses of their students by taking classes in the temporary shed by four teachers.

Contacted, Upazila Primary Education Officer Kamrul Hasan said they will inform the higher authorities about the matter.
