Education Minister Rosy Akbar says their investigating team has received responses from the RKS Principal regarding allegations laid out in a letter by the RKS Student Council.

Akbar says they hope to resume classes at RKS on Monday but this will depend on the recommendations by the investigating team.

She says the investigations are led by the Permanent Secretary and Director Secondary Education.

Akbar says they are awaiting a response on the allegation about shortage of food which they are taking very seriously.

Akbar says she wants to make clear that they have not bowed down to any protest by closing RKS for one week.

She says what they have done is put the welfare of the students, teachers and the institution first.

Akbar says they wanted to prevent the situation from aggravating further.
