At a Dhaka panel discussion on the future of Bangladesh’s education system in the age of artificial intelligence, speakers emphasized the need to develop citizens who are ethical, skilled, and capable of competing in both domestic and global labor markets. The event, organized by the Youth Council of Bangladesh, featured education and policy experts including Dr. Mahdi Amin, Bobby Hajjaj, and Shahriar Chowdhury.

Panelists argued that AI is transforming education, employment, and leadership, making teacher empowerment and continuous learning essential. They proposed a 'One Teacher, One Tablet' initiative to ensure educators can adapt to new technologies and deliver higher-quality instruction. Speakers also noted that countries like Japan and South Korea offer vast job opportunities, but language and skills gaps hinder participation.

The discussion highlighted the urgency of education policy reform, digital inclusion, and AI-driven skill development to prepare Bangladesh’s youth for global competitiveness. Participants called for coordinated national strategies to align education with future labor demands.
