The head of police in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka has met the principals of several English-language schools to discuss threats made against them.
The private school principals say they fear the threats are coming from Islamic militants and have requested more police protection.
Police said the “veiled threats” had come in letters and telephone calls.
The government is still investigating whether last month’s border guard mutiny had an Islamic militant element.
The mutiny resulted in the deaths of 74 people.
Dhaka Police Commissioner Shahidul Haque told the BBC Bengali service that several language schools had received veiled threats the police were investigating.
He said that the police had urged about 100 privately owned language schools in Dhaka to use more private security guards to ensure they had the maximum protection. Parents of pupils have been made aware of the threat.
Correspondents say that the vague nature of the threats makes it impossible to say conclusively that they have come from Islamic radicals.
Even so the schools themselves – along with parents – are not taking them lightly.
“I got very scared… and picked up my son before classes were over on Thursday,” the father of one 14-year-old boy told the Reuters news agency.
“I am talking with other guardians [about whether] we should send children to schools after the weekend.”
Security has been increased across Dhaka since the mutiny, especially at the offices and residences of politicians and at government-run schools.
It is estimated that about 100,000 students in Dhaka attend private English language schools, which charge higher fees than Bengali-language schools.
The government says that it will soon release the findings of an official probe into the 25-26 February revolt, which some have blamed on the Jamayetul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) extremist group.
The JMB carried out a series of bombings across the country at the same time in 2005.

Sorrow,frustrated and self -condemned and such drastically emotions are haunting me !And just like the ice bestrowing on the mountain in the picture,my heart is covered with a freezing ice.It nearly drived me crazy!Why did the misfortune happen upon me?I’m always ready to help others in predicaments;I’m always treat everthing and everbody friendly and optimistically;I’m always abstemious because I know that the money I consumed don’t belong to me.So ,why I should experience such a misfortune thing.Maybe four hundred yuan cannot be so much important to someone,however,it means much to me and I can make most use of it to creat the utmost avail for me and I can do many significant things.Now it likes a colorful but remote bubble that is completely destroyed by my flashy carelessness.Just like the archaism saying”A fall into a pit,a gain in your wit “,I’d rather not to believe it because the cost is too expensive for me.I merely hope to live my college life as a placid lake :do what I like to do,aquatiance with the people I like,smile when happy,not be heartrending.Is it a simple hope too inappeasable?Friends consoled me,but my heart is still heartrending.I wish and pray that these misfortune things can be kept away from me,so do you!And let me analyze the thing rationally .Setting aside the damnable thief,the carelessness of me plays a prominent part in the loss.The conciousness of me is too dotty and I’m not alarmed enough.Maybe I take it for granted that the world around me is beauty and purify.There are no evils at all.Now I have to face the reality that I’m not GOD and I cannot change the world in my thinking way.Misfortunes can momentarily befall on us.What we should do is to do our endeavor to avoid such things .Do you agree?

Heather Mills has said she would rather lose the rest of her limbs than repeat the trauma of her marriage breakdown.
In her first television interview since her split with Sir Paul McCartney, she told US entertainment show Extra she would never marry again.
The 38-year-old former model, who lost a leg in a motorbike accident in 1993, said she had been “vilified”.
“I would rather someone come up and chop off all my limbs than go through what I went through,” she said.
She added: “It’s a fact because if your limbs are chopped off you … get another limb and there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
When you’re vilified for doing nothing but falling in love with an icon … I’d rather have all of my limbs cut off that’s the God’s honest truth.”

At least 50 people have been killed and thousands more evacuated as floods caused by heavy rain brought chaos to the Philippines, officials say.
At least one town is completely under water. Power has been cut off to parts of the capital, Manila, where hundreds of people are trapped on rooftops.
The government has declared a calamity, allowing access to emergency funds.
Television pictures showed water flowing down roads like rivers, with the floods chest-deep and rising.
The equivalent of a whole month’s rain fell in six hours as Tropical Storm Ketsana, also known as Ondoy, lashed the island of Luzon, causing the worst flooding in Manila for 20 years.
Nearly 2,000 people were evacuated and hundreds more were stranded on rooftops.
Philippines President Gloria Arroyo appealed for donations and called for calm.
“I am calling on our countrymen, especially residents of metro Manila and other provinces in the path of the typhoon, to please stay calm, follow the instructions of local officials and civil defence authorities,” she said in a TV message.

Some are now resorting to threats to prevent that vision from becoming a reality.
Oezcan Mutlu, who is also running for parliament for the Greens, showed me a letter he received at his home address at the weekend.
Apparently from the commissioner for the repatriation of foreigners, and couched in official language, it demands he go back to his country within three months.
But there is no such commissioner in Germany. The letter was actually sent by the far-right National Democratic Party (NPD) to about 30 candidates with foreign-sounding names, like Mr Mutlu.
“When I saw this paper, I was shocked,” he said. “This is my home town. I am German. I have only German citizenship. I have no country to go to.”
Mr Mutlu, a lawmaker in the Berlin state parliament, is used to hate mail.
“Until recently I got them from individuals anonymously, but this time a party with the name on it is addressing me privately,” he said.
“You don’t know what they can do if they have your address. I’m not afraid at all, but I have to be careful.”
The letter says foreigners should be excluded from the welfare system and banned from owning land in Germany.

Parts of Dorset will resemble Portugal by the 2080s with temperatures 4C (7F) higher in the month of July, a Natural England report has claimed.
The study said without action to tackle climate change rainfall at Dorset Downs and Cranborne Chase will fall by 12%.
Beech trees numbers will decline and be replaced by more drought-resistant trees, the report noted.
Natural England said potential solutions include better floodplain management and increased water storage.
It said the re-establishment of grassland and woodland to bind the soil would also help.

The commander of the Chilean army, Gen Oscar Izurieta, said Captain Pinochet had committed a grave error, leaving no choice but to discharge him.
However, the family maintained that Captain Pinochet had already been considering leaving the army because he had felt uncomfortable.
Some 5,000 fervent supporters of Augusto Pinochet attended the funeral of the former Chilean leader at a military college in Santiago.
The funeral was interrupted at one point by Capt Pinochet, who defended his grandfather.
“He was a man who defeated at the height of the Cold War the Marxist model, which tried to impose its totalitarian model not by vote, but more directly by force of arms,” the officer said.
His speech also accused the judges who had brought criminal charges against General Pinochet of doing so to further their personal interests and not for the betterment of the country.
Chilean Defence Minister Vivianne Blanlot, who attended the funeral, said the remarks were “an insult to the state”.
This was echoed by President Bachelet on Wednesday.
“This is a grave error and we are certain that the army will know what to do,” she said, before Captain Pinochet’s dismissal was announced.
Gen Pinochet’s body was cremated late on Tuesday and his ashes will be given to his family.
Correspondents say they did not want a grave or memorial to become a focal point for protest.

He praised the American president for saying that the US had been slow to act on climate change and that richer countries had to take the lead since they had caused much of the damage.
No other US president, he said, would have had the courage to make such remarks.
But the 83-year-old revolutionary criticised what he called America’s aggressive military foreign policy which threatened the survival of our species.
These comments come just a week after President Obama extended the decades old US trade embargo for another year.
Relations between the two countries have eased in recent months.
But Washington continues to insist that communist Cuba must respond with democratic and human rights reforms before full economic and diplomatic relations can be restored.
Cuba’s leader Raul Castro says he is ready to hold wide ranging talks with the Obama administration but says the island’s socialist system is not up negotiation.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva says the international community demands the reinstatement of ousted Honduran leader Manuel Zelaya.
Mr Lula told the UN that the crisis in Honduras is an example of where greater global political will is needed.
In another development, the UN has suspended any assistance for November’s planned elections in Honduras.
A statement said Secretary General Ban Ki-moon did not not believe conditions are right for “credible elections”.
The suspension is temporary, but a UN spokesperson gave no indication of when assistance might be resumed.
Mr Zelaya has been holed up in Brazil’s embassy in Honduras since Monday.
Brazil has warned Honduran security forces not to enter the embassy in the capital, Tegucigalpa, and is seeking an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council to address the crisis.
“Without political will, we will see more coups such as the one that toppled Manuel Zelaya in Honduras,” Mr Lula told the UN General Assembly in New York.
“The international community demands that Mr Zelaya immediately return to the presidency of his country and must be alert to ensure the inviolability of Brazil’s diplomatic mission in the capital of Honduras.”
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez also called for international action, telling reporters: “The United Nations should demand that Zelaya be reinstated to government again,” Reuters news agency reported.
In Honduras, troops have surrounded the embassy. Electricity, water and telephone services were cut off for a time on Tuesday before being partially restored.

But Carlyle, who also starred in The Beach, said “For me personally, I would jump through hoops of fire backwards for Danny Boyle. I would do Porno tomorrow for nothing.”
He added his character from Trainspotting, the psychotic Francis Begbie, was “probably the only character I would ever want to revisit because I do believe that there’s an awful lot more mileage there in Begbie.”
Boyle himself has suggested recently that a Porno script is in development.
Carlyle is the star of the newest spin-off series from the sci-fi Stargate franchise, playing Dr Nicholas Rush in Stargate: Universe.
