Prime Minister Tarique Rahman told Parliament on April 8, 2026, that the government is implementing short-, medium-, and long-term plans across 43 areas of the education sector. He said each student and teacher will receive a unique digital identity called 'Edu-ID'. The initiative is part of a broader plan to gradually raise education spending to 5 percent of GDP, as outlined in the government’s election manifesto.

Rahman said the government views education as the best investment and is committed to building a quality, inclusive, and life-oriented education system. Plans include distributing free school uniforms to 200,000 primary students this fiscal year, expanding school feeding programs nationwide, and installing multimedia classrooms in all primary and secondary institutions. Additionally, 1,500 institutions will receive free Wi-Fi to reduce digital inequality.

The Prime Minister also announced that the ICT Division’s Bangladesh Computer Council will train students in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, mobile app development, Python programming, and AI-based digital marketing within six months. The government is also considering nationalizing one women’s college in each upazila to promote female education and empowerment.
