At a press conference at the Ministry of Education in Dhaka on Thursday afternoon, State Minister for Education Bobby Hajjaj announced that the government will treat education as the state’s first investment rather than an expenditure. He said education will be the main factory for human resource development and the central project for nation-building. Hajjaj stated that the government aims to raise education spending to five percent of GDP, aligning with international standards of four to six percent.
He outlined a three-year fiscal uplift plan to improve both the quantity and quality of education funding, emphasizing milestone-based cash releases and alignment of development projects with the school calendar. The minister acknowledged inefficiencies, noting that 53 percent of the secondary and higher education development fund remained unused last fiscal year. He pledged reforms in procurement, spending quality, and classroom outcomes.
Hajjaj also announced initiatives for teacher training, digital literacy, artificial intelligence awareness, and cyber safety. Plans include mandatory third-language education, improved school infrastructure, and digital tools such as “One Teacher, One Tab.” He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to building a skilled, just, and technology-enabled Bangladesh through education.
