BSS: State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shahriar Alam, MP, said the present government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has given utmost emphasis on women education for substantial and sustainable empowerment of womenfolk.
“Education for women is very important for building an educated nation. So, the government has been working relentlessly to take the country’s women education forward,” he added. State Minister Alam came up with the observation while addressing a meeting to mark the opening of a newly constructed four-storey academic building of Jhikra High School under Charghat Upazila in the district yesterday evening as chief guest.
Charghat Upazilan Fakhrul Islam, Upazila Nirbahi Officer Sohrab Hossain and some of the local Awami League fron-ranking leaders also spoke on the occasion.
State Minister Shahriar Alam told the meeting that the country attained remarkable success in all development sectors due to the consistency of Sheikh Hasina’s government for the last around 14 consecutive years.
He said sufficient allocation has been given for development of the education sector as there is no alternative to ensure qualitative education for taking the nation forward.
So, the government under the prudent and visionary leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has attached top priority to the education sector.
He also said now none needs to come to him with the problems related to power and road communication and the application for construction of school buildings has reduced to half as most of the educational institutions have got buildings.
Earlier on the same day, the state minister also inaugurated the newly constructed academic buildings of Haripur High School and Kaluhati High School.
