Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday said her government wants to develop an education system in the country so that the students can pursue their studies with interest and joy.

“There should be an education system so that students can pursue study with interest, there would be no need to ask them repeatedly to study rather they would do it on their own and they have such desire. We want to develop this system,” she said, reports UNB.

The premier said this while inaugurating the distribution of stipends, tuition fees and awards among insolvent and meritorious students at a programme in the city’s Osmani Memorial Auditorium.

She opened the distribution of stipends and tuition fees among the insolvent and meritorious students from the secondary-graduation (pass) and its equivalent-level.

In the event, the PM also conferred the awards to the most talented students of Bangabandhu Srijanshil Medha Onneshan-2024 (Bangabandhu Creative Talent Search-2024) and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Scholar Award-2023.

Hasina said her government modified textbooks and syllabus, and took initiative for a creative education system in a bid to keep pace with the changing world.

She said the government wants to go for a system where there’ll be learning amid a joyful atmosphere.

Education Minister Mohibul Hassan Chowdhoury presided over the function, while PM’s Education and Cultural Affairs Adviser Kamal Abdul Naser Chowdhury and State Minister for Education Begum Shamsun Naher spoke on the occasion.

A total of Tk 2,208 crore would be disbursed among more than 6,470,000 (64.70 lakh) students from the secondary, higher secondary and graduation and equivalent institutions, said Secretary of Secondary and Higher Education Division Suleman Khan in his welcome speech.

The stipends and tuition fees are being disbursed through online mobile financial service to the students under the G2P (government to person) system in the current fiscal year, he said.
