Increase SSC & HSC stipends
Our government has been providing stipends to meritorious students for public examinations to financially support them. Stipends for PSC and JSC examinations have increased in recent years along with the number of students. Allocated to each area based on student numbers to ensure equitable distribution, it is undoubtedly boosting child education.
However the amount given as scholarship is insufficient considering the present price level of commodities. Scholarship per month should be at least TK 1,000 for the talent pool and TK 800 for others, and the allowance for educational accessories TK 1,000 per year per head. Stipends for SSC and HSC examinations are limited compared to the total number of students. It should be increased by four times the current amount.
