State Minister for Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment Nurul Haque Nur said the government is working to arrange overseas employment for 10 million working-age young people over five years. He made the remarks while answering journalists’ questions during a visit to Barishal Government Brojomohun College campus at 12:30 pm on Monday, ahead of a freshmen reception.
Nur said loans of up to Tk300,000 without collateral are being provided to 1 million students seeking to go abroad and to expatriates. He said overseas employment policy is placing importance on skills, arguing that certificate-based education alone cannot ensure jobs in the current labour market.
The state minister said textbooks, syllabuses and curricula are being assessed to align with areas of demand in the job market. He also said the cyber law would soon be amended to make social media safer, and stated that the government has taken a strong position against drugs. Later, he attended a freshmen reception organised by the BM College unit of Chhatra Odhikar Parishad.
