Education and Primary and Mass Education Minister A N M Ehsanul Haque Milan announced three top priorities for Bangladesh’s education sector: creating an environment to bring students back to classrooms, reviewing the national curriculum, and modernizing technical education. He made the announcement on Thursday during a press briefing at the Ministry of Education in Dhaka, where he also addressed questions from journalists.

The minister said teacher transfers within the ministry will be managed through an automatic app-based system to prevent corruption, ensuring merit-based and transparent processes. He added that the transfer process for MPO-listed teachers would be launched as soon as possible. Regarding teacher movements for demands, he urged teachers to focus on teaching rather than protests, assuring that legitimate demands would be considered.

State Minister for Education Bobby Hajjaj outlined twelve plans of the new government, emphasizing education as the state’s primary investment and the foundation for nation-building. These include implementing a “One Teacher, One Tab” policy, introducing a third language, making sports compulsory at the secondary level, reforming curriculum and examinations, and strengthening accountability in higher education.
