At a Dhaka panel discussion on the future of Bangladesh’s education system in the age of artificial intelligence, speakers emphasized the need to develop citizens who are ethical, skilled, and capable of competing in both domestic and global labor markets. The event, organized by the Youth Council of Bangladesh, featured political and educational figures including Dr. Mahdi Amin, Bobby Hajjaj, and Shahriar Chowdhury.

Panelists argued that AI is transforming education, employment, and leadership, making teacher empowerment a national priority. They proposed a 'One Teacher, One Tablet' policy to ensure continuous learning and quality instruction, stressing that technology should strengthen, not replace, teachers. The discussion also addressed education policy reform, digital inequality, and AI’s role in preparing youth for future leadership.

Experts warned that without language proficiency and job-oriented training, Bangladesh may fail to benefit from global employment opportunities in countries like Japan and South Korea. The dialogue underscored the urgency of aligning education with AI-driven economic realities.
