Education Minister ANM Ehsanul Hoque Milon -File PhotoDHAKA, April 7, 2026 (BSS) - Education Minister ANM Ehsanul Hoque Milon has said the government is considering introducing a hybrid (online-offline) education system in metropolitan areas to reduce traffic congestion and save fuel amid the current energy situation. “If we can reduce traffic on the roads and introduce a rationing system for fuel, it will help conserve fuel. That is why we are thinking of bringing schools in metropolitan cities—where traffic pressure is high—under an online-offline system,” he said.
