Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has called for greater emphasis
on science and technology, and technical education to ensure employment
opportunities for the people in keeping with the requirements of the
modern age.
Hasina said this while speaking at the inaugural
event for the distribution of stipends, tuition fees, admission
assistance and financial grants among poor and meritorious students
under the Prime Minister's Education Assistance Trust via video
conference on Sunday, bdnews24 reported.
She said the government
is setting up various universities in the country with the aim of
providing the necessary tools to succeed in the modern workplace.
"We
have established the Maritime University, the Civil Aviation and
Aerospace University. In other words, we are looking at the subjects and
the kind of education that is very important in different parts of
Bangladesh and setting universities accordingly. We are doing this so
that everyone can receive a proper education."
Education in
science and technology alongside technical training is crucial as it
improves job prospects, according to the Awami League chief.
"It's
relevant both at home and abroad. And it's necessary in our country in
light of the 100 economic zones that we are creating. There will be
domestic and foreign investment. It will take a lot of people with
technical expertise there. Therefore, we want to create a skilled
workforce."
"If we create skilled manpower, they will be able to
make a huge contribution to our economic development. Therefore, we are
taking various measures to that end."
The Prime Minister also
highlighted the steps taken by her father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur
Rahman to modernise and develop the education system of the country
while outlining the various initiatives taken in this regard by her
Awami League government.
