Chittagong should be made into a city of quality education so that it gets known to the rest of the world, said Dr Hossain Zillur Rahman, an educationist and former adviser to a caretaker government, yesterday. Since education is the development index in today's world, ensuring the quality of education should be prioritised, he added. Zillur was addressing a reception programme for GPA-5 achievers in PSC, JSC and JDC examinations, organised by Chattagram Samity-Dhaka, said a press release.
