, May 15 -- Government primary schools in Feni are facing a serious student enrolment crisis, even after various initiatives taken to bring children back to classrooms.

Teachers and education officials point to the growing attraction of kindergartens and madrasas as a major reason behind the falling numbers in public schools.

Many parents say they believe private institutions provide better quality education compared to government-run schools, especially in terms of discipline and religious instruction.

According to data from the six upazila primary education offices, 180 out of 534 government primary schools in Feni now have fewer than 100 students.
