The state minister said the past government had politicised the educational institutions but the present government is pledged-bound to keep the educational institutions above politics, an official handout said.
Quamrul suggested selecting honest and capable persons as managing committee members in educational institutions to help build a knowledge-based society.
He said a huge amount of money had been plundered during the previous government in the name of development activities. He emphatically said that the present administration would not allow such act of looting.
