All primary and secondary schools in the country will enjoy two holidays a week from the next year, said education minister Dr Dipu Moni.

From the year 2023, all the educational institutions will have two days off on Friday and Saturday, she added.

The minister made the remarks at a textbook distribution function at the National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) building in Dhaka on Saturday (February 19) afternoon.
