Dr. Zubaida Rahman, wife of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, stated that the proper use of artificial intelligence (AI) can bring a transformative change to the education system, particularly in countries like Bangladesh where trained teachers are not equally available. She made the remarks on Wednesday, March 25, while joining the global alliance ‘Fostering the Future Together,’ aimed at promoting safe technology and child development. The two-day conference was inaugurated by First Lady Melania Trump and organized by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.

Zubaida Rahman highlighted that the government is working to deliver innovative technology and healthcare to children, providing teachers with digital tools, updating learning materials, and introducing digital curricula. She emphasized that educational technology is helping reduce urban-rural disparities while ensuring safe and ethical use. As a physician, she reaffirmed her commitment to accessible healthcare for every child and mentioned her involvement with the Ziaur Rahman Foundation in education and youth development.

She praised current government initiatives such as the ‘Family Card’ and ‘Farmer Card,’ and reiterated the government’s pledge to ensure free education for women up to postgraduate level, continuing Bangladesh’s tradition of women’s empowerment.
