Prime Minister and BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman announced that the government has decided to make education free for women up to the undergraduate (degree) level. He made the declaration during his concluding speech at the first session of the 13th National Parliament, adding that scholarships will also be provided based on academic performance.

Rahman emphasized his commitment to transforming the education sector, stating that he seeks fundamental change rather than maintaining the current state. Starting from July, the government will distribute school bags, uniforms, and shoes to primary school students to ensure a dignified learning environment. He also paid tribute to those who sacrificed their lives in various national movements and reaffirmed the government's dedication to fulfilling their aspirations for freedom and employment based on merit.

Addressing the ongoing energy crisis, Rahman said the government has accepted proposals from the opposition and formed a joint committee to resolve the issue, expressing hope for a quick solution. He reiterated that the government is elected by the people and accountable to them.
