Dhaka Correspondent:

State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Bobby Hajjaj said that the government is keen to work to expand the innovative education initiatives of private and development organizations in different regions of the country at the national level. Initiatives will be taken to implement successful models on a larger scale to ensure education opportunities for children in climate-vulnerable and remote areas, especially so that the light of education and skills can spread to every home in the country.

He said these things while speaking as the chief guest at the award ceremony of the UNESCO CONFUCIUS PRIZE FOR LITERACY 2025 at a hotel in the capital today.

The State Minister said that the floating or boat-based school model is very important as part of the climate-resilient education system. He said that you have been successfully running boat-based education programs for many years. This is an effective and tested model. Now it is necessary to work together on how to expand this experience to other similar regions of the country.

The State Minister also said that every initiative is important. However, it is more important to implement it successfully and reach a larger population than taking initiatives. In the coming days, the government wants to support the expansion of these successful initiatives at the national level.

‎At the end of the speech, the State Minister thanked UNESCO for its continuous support in the development of education in Bangladesh and expressed the hope that this support will continue in the future. He congratulated the Sidhulai Swanirbhar Sangstha, who received the UNESCO Confucius Literacy Award.

‎At this time, Rasheda K. Chowdhury, Executive Director of the Mass Literacy Campaign, Debabrata Chakraborty, Director General of the Bureau of Non-Formal Education, Susan Vize, UNICEF Representative in Bangladesh, and others were present.
