Education Minister Barrister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury Naufel said standard of education will be improved through the real empowerment of teachers.
“Therefore, the facilities and capacity of the teachers should be enhanced. The government is going to that way. It is the teachers who can make the students qualified, skilled and create the path of employment. If we want to survive, there is no alternative to build a smart Bangladesh by enhancing the responsibility of the teacher,” he said.
The minister said this while exchanging views with the teachers of different educational institutions in Chattogram at Premier University auditorium here last night.
The education minister said the teacher can play a leading role in developing the student's taste, mentality and creativity.
“Students should be made bold and competent to take realistic decisions on career plans. Bangabandhu's government and the present government are respecting the education and the teachers most,” he added.
He urged the teachers to emphasize technical and vocational education in addition to general education of the students.
“There is no alternative to convert our population into public resources to stay competitive with the rest of the world. Therefore, teachers should encourage students to take education in different languages and by hand,” he added.
