State Minister for Fisheries and Livestock Sultan Salauddin Tuku said the government is giving the highest priority to primary education and taking steps to make the teaching profession more respected and appealing. He stated that primary education forms the foundation of a nation, and the goal is to turn the job of a primary school teacher into a desirable career that attracts talented individuals. He made these remarks on Saturday afternoon while addressing a recognition and award ceremony at the Tangail Deputy Commissioner’s conference hall.

Tuku highlighted that temple-based education programs play a vital role at the grassroots level by nurturing students in morality, humanity, and social values while enhancing their educational skills. He also emphasized that in Bangladesh there should be no distinction between majority and minority communities, as all citizens are Bangladeshis who must work together for national progress. The government, he added, will provide full support to the Hindu community in all matters.

The event was chaired by Tangail Deputy Commissioner Sharifa Haque and attended by several local officials and education project representatives. Awards were presented to outstanding teachers, students, and sports competition winners.
