Dr. Zubaida Rahman, Vice Chairman of the Ziaur Rahman Foundation and spouse of BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman, emphasized that everyone, regardless of wealth, has the right to education. Speaking as chief guest at the closing and award ceremony of the 'Start-up, Science Project and Innovation Idea Showcasing' competition organized by the Dhaka District Administration at BAF Shaheen College, she said that bringing education opportunities to underprivileged areas can help discover and nurture hidden talents.

She highlighted the importance of 'learning with happiness' to develop students into responsible citizens through teamwork, personal skill development, and moral education from an early stage. Dr. Rahman also drew attention to the poor infrastructure of schools in remote regions, citing examples from Pirojpur, Kurigram, Jhalokathi, and Chuadanga. Despite these challenges, she praised teachers and students for their perseverance in continuing education.

Dr. Rahman congratulated all participants of the science project exhibition and expressed hope that such initiatives would enhance creativity and contribute to the nation’s future development.
