Not just that, Robi-10 Minute School made its studios available for the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (Class 6- 10) to shoot for the educational content for broadcasting over BTV. Thus the school became an integral part of the national initiative for online or broadcast based education during the pandemic.
