Govt has been able to enroll almost 100 pc children in primary schools: PM

Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS)

DHAKA, Sept 7 (BSS) - Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said her government has been able to enroll almost 100 percent children in primary schools this year and committed to eradicating illiteracy within 2014.

In a message on the eve of International Literacy Day-2010, the Prime Minister said there is no alternative to educated and skilled human resources for achieving overall development of the country and strengthening democracy.

She said the present government is implementing various programmes to eliminate discrimination in the country's education system. "We are working to create skilled manpower through giving vocational education to illiterate people," she said.

Sheikh Hasina said the government has formulated 'National Education Policy-2010' and 'Sixth Five-Year Plan' by giving priority to women, backward people, small ethnic groups and rural people in the literacy programme.

"I hope we will be able to attain Vision-2021 through successful implementation of these programmes," she observed.

The Prime Minister urged all to move forward with united efforts for building a poverty and illiteracy-free 'Sonar Bangla', dreamt by the greatest Bangalee of all time Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

She wished success of all programmes of the Day.

Government should now focus on building more science and tech uni in bangladesh... around 50000 student get gpa 5 in hsc. If even half of them can be enrolled in the science and engineering related subject this will be a big boost for BD... obviously those who are getting in between gpa 4 to gpa 5 numbers around 200K ... if 1/4th can be from them given university education with science and tech... Bangladesh definitely can think of creating a knowledge based economy by 2030.

While this is a very good news...i agree with strengthening of science and technology based education in BD.

I mentioned this earlier that, as we have gone into laptop production...we can give them to different primary schools and institutes all across BD so that people get more access to such facility. There is no dependency on anyone and can be achieved if will-ed. And this can be the first step.

Moreover, wide information flow across the country would help many people in rural areas...where usually they are unaware of a lot of things regarding economy, politics and policies.


Cheers!!!

Not only education, jobs in Bangladesh are very limited these days. People with Masters degree are roaming around unemployed and this is nothing new. Govt. should look into it. Simply educating the people is not enough. They need to be offered proper platform in order to utilize their talent and by that i mean stabilizing every related aspect.

No wonder all our brilliant students run abroad and settle there, just ending up sending remittance back home.

This is where we should take a leaf out of the Indian books. Agree or disagree, India has managed well to keep its talented citizen to itself and that is why they are ahead of us by miles.

95% of my childhood Indian friends here went back to India after high school and have taken a degree there and worked in local companies. Later they went abroad for masters, took PR and came back to finally work and settle in India, with good salary and benefits.

Others i know worked here for experience and went back when they finally decided to settle in life personally and are today working in big giants in India like Reliance, Tata.



Cheers!!!

Key point in the news is - it is said by Sheikh Hasina. But real statistics is different that what Hasina and her Awami regime say. Rate she is spewing lie everyday nothing can be trusted.

Although, Bangladesh made huge progess in enrolling children to school over last 2 decade, it is still far from 100%. There are still lots of work to be done.

In 2009 Awami regime halted stipend program for 1.6 million girl student, which crucial for success of the children enrollment.

I could not see a latest stat on primary education enrollment but it would wise to see a credible statistics than whhat Sheikh Hasina said.
