Most of the schools in the city will remain open today and Saturday to compensate the loss of classes for four days of strikes called by Bangladesh Nationalist Party and different Islamic parties.
BNP enforced a 48-hour strike from Wednesday to Thursday and some Islamist parties called a 30-hour strike from Sunday to Monday.
The schools normally remain closed on Fridays and Saturdays, the weekly holidays.
Different schools in the capital like Sunnydale, Sunbeam, Mastermind and Manipur High School will hold their classes today to recuperate the loss in lessons due to staggering hartals, the schools' authorities said.
'The school authorities told us that the school will be open today to make up the loss in lessons due to strikes called by different political parties,' said Nasim Akhter, a Dhanmondi resident whose son is a student of Sunnydale School.
Schools like Udayan High School, Viqarunnisa Noon School, Motijheel Model High School and College, YWCA Higher Secondary Girls' School, Willes Little Flower School and London Grace International School remain open on Saturday.
Kalabagan resident Farhana Haque, whose daughter is a student of class III at YWCA Higher Secondary Girls' School, said it was very irritating to take children to school on holidays.
'The school will be open at Saturday to compensate the loss of four days of strike,' she added.
Rampura resident Shahana Zaman said her son is studying at Udayan High School which would remain open on Saturday.
