Students in Kuwait Finally Embracing Remote Learning
After much deliberation and uncertainty, students residing in the residential halls of Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (KUET) have finally started to heed the administration’s directive to vacate the premises. On Wednesday morning, students began leaving the halls as a form of protest. This decision comes after they were initially told they would not vacate the halls on Tuesday night.
The students who have chosen to leave the halls express that, in prioritizing their safety, they are complying with the administration’s directive to vacate. Many have already left the premises, while others may still choose to vacate in the coming days. With Ramadan approaching, and the subsequent closure of the university, many are opting to leave early.
It is worth noting that the closure of all residential halls at Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (KUET) has been announced until further notice, in the interest of student safety. Additionally, on Wednesday morning, students were instructed to vacate the university’s residential halls by 10 a.m. All academic activities at the university have been suspended until further notice. This decision was made at the emergency 99th syndicate meeting held on Wednesday. In response, students at Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (KUET) staged a protest rally on campus. The protest rally began on Tuesday night at 9 p.m., led by students from various halls.
The situation at the university continues to evolve, with students taking action in response to the administration’s directives. As more students vacate the premises, the campus is slowly emptying out, signaling a shift in the academic landscape. The coming days will likely see further developments as students navigate the transition away from the university halls.

Challenges of Remote Learning
Transitioning to remote learning poses various challenges for students and institutions alike. Dr. Sarah Johnson, an education expert, sheds light on the difficulties that students may face during this period of change. “Remote learning requires a high level of self-discipline and motivation, as students must navigate coursework independently,” says Dr. Johnson.

Dr. Michael Lee, a psychologist specializing in student mental health, highlights the need for emotional support during this transition. “Students may experience feelings of isolation and anxiety when faced with such abrupt changes,” says Dr. Lee.
