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.
