On Wednesday, seventy students from two educational institutions attended the budget session of Bangladesh’s 13th National Parliament. Thirty students from Habib Ullah Degree College in Vedarganj, Shariatpur, and forty from Chetana Model Academy in Mirpur, Dhaka, visited the Parliament complex around 1:45 p.m. They toured the building’s architecture and had lunch at the Parliament cafeteria before observing the day’s proceedings from the Bir Sreshtho Mohammad Ruhul Amin Gallery. Eight teachers accompanied the students during the visit.

The initiative, led by Education Minister Dr. A N M Ehsanul Haque Milan, allows students from schools, colleges, and universities to observe parliamentary sessions as part of a civic learning program. Each day, groups from different institutions are invited to witness the sessions firsthand. Wednesday’s visit coincided with the fourth day of the budget session.

The day’s proceedings began with a question-and-answer segment led by Prime Minister and Leader of the House Tareq Rahman, under the chairmanship of Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed Bir Bikrom. Discussions were held on public importance notices, and decisions were made regarding the formation of parliamentary standing committees.
