The institutions are set to reopen on October 20, but there is uncertainty regarding the commencement of classes. Due to damage to the institutions, poor road conditions, and the loss of students' books and notebooks, there are concerns about a significant disruption to education overall.

Due to the floods, primary, secondary, madrasa, technical educational institutions, and colleges in the Sherpur district were closed. Initially, 84 educational institutions were closed at the onset of the floods, and subsequently, the remaining institutions were announced to be closed. In the Mymensingh division, the closure of institutions due to the floods has caused students to fall behind compared to those in other areas. Although schools will reopen next week, parents and students have indicated that they will be somewhat delayed in starting regular studies due to the poor condition of the roads and damage to their homes. On the other hand, with the annual exams approaching, the institutions will prepare to conduct exams.

Continuous rainfall since the night of October 3, along with upstream flooding from India, caused flooding on October 4. Following rising water levels, the local administration declared all educational institutions in the Jhenaigati and Nalitabari upazilas of Sherpur as shelters.

Sherpur District Education Officer Rezwan said, "180 secondary schools, colleges, and madrasas are closed. Many classrooms in several institutions have been damaged by the floods, and many makeshift structures have been affected. The institutions will reopen after the Durga Puja holiday, and decisions will be made afterward."

Locals report that due to the destruction of mud houses in the floods, several hundred families have sought refuge along the roads, at relatives' homes, or in nearby educational institutions. With the roads severely damaged, communication has been disrupted in many areas. Hundreds of homeless families are in dire straits. Even if these families return to their homes, they are worried about their children's education due to the destruction of their houses. They are uncertain whether to repair their homes or worry about their crops. Without any provision for food, the impoverished families are suffering the most. They are also anxious about their children's education, particularly those in remote areas.

The Secondary Education Officer of Phulpur in Mymensingh, Nasrin Akhtar, announced that the damaged educational institutions in Phulpur will reopen on October 20, and classes will resume.

The ground floors of these institutions were submerged in floodwater, while the second and third floors were used as shelters. Because these schools served as shelters, it is still uncertain when they will reopen. Three days after the floods began, the institutions were closed for the Durga Puja holiday.

Mizanur Rahman, the District Primary Education Officer of Mymensingh, said that floodwaters have affected 275 schools in the district, impacting nearly 50,000 students.

Rowshan Ara Khan, Deputy Director of the Mymensingh Division Secondary and Higher Secondary Office, expressed hope that there will be no disruption to students' education. She stated that 188 secondary educational institutions have been affected. As of now, there are no directives for them. The institutions will reopen on October 20. Due to the floods, there have been additional days of closure, and if necessary, schools will remain open on Saturdays to continue teaching.
