Mymensingh: State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Bobby Hajjaj announced plans for significant changes to the primary education system within the next two to three years. He shared this vision while addressing reporters after a training workshop at the National Academy for Primary Education Auditorium.

According to United News of Bangladesh, the workshop, organized by the Divisional Primary Education Office, Mymensingh, focused on classroom management, student rights, community involvement, and leadership in the education sector. The state minister emphasized that these efforts align with Prime Minister Tarique Rahman’s mandate to transform primary education.

Bobby Hajjaj highlighted the progress made in the primary education sector during the government’s first 180 days, emphasizing curriculum development, teacher training, and the introduction of value-based education. The initiatives also include cultural activities, sports, and technology-based learning to enhance the educational experience.

The state minister underscored the importance of ensuring no child is left out of the classroom. To this end, measures such as providing nutritious midday meals, free uniforms, shoes, and school bags have been introduced to support primary students. He also spoke about the government’s aim to create modern and student-friendly learning environments, moving beyond merely constructing school buildings.

A notable change in the curriculum will be the introduction of a speaking test alongside the written English examination, aimed at improving students’ communication skills. Additionally, an integrated IT ecosystem is in development to modernize student information management, with plans for each student to receive a unique identity.

The workshop was presided over by Divisional Deputy Director of Primary Education Muhammad Rafiqul Islam Talukder.
