No child to remain out of school: PM
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said the government does not want any children to remain unschooled, as an educated nation is urgently needed to ensure a “Sonar Bangla” dreamt by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
“Education is a kind of light...this light helps human being flourish. So, no child should remain outside this light and that’s our aim,” she said.
The PM said this while handing over awards to 12 meritorious students selected at the national level, through “Creative Merit Searching Competition-2019” across the country at her official residence Gono Bhaban.
She said the government has formulated a policy to this end and is implementing that.
Hasina said the government is taking every programme and long-term plan after proper evaluation, so that this nation could stand on the global stage with its head high.
Mentioning that this country has a history of sacrifice, the prime minister said this nation was deprived of knowing its own real history of victory in the Liberation War. “Children used to be taught distorted history. If anyone starts learning with tampered or false history then their life also becomes deceitful.”
The premier said the world is moving forward fast as the present era is the era of science.
“It is not possible to achieve anything without practising science, acquiring education and without research,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina said educational curricula have been designed for the development of the country, considering Bangladesh’s geographical position, its climate and population.
Each award recipient of the competition was given a medal, certificate a cheque for Tk one lakh at the ceremony.
