State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Bobby Hajjaj on Tuesday highlighted the need for curriculum modernisation, quality improvement of teachers, climate-resilient infrastructures and technology integration in the country’s education sector.
He said, “the incumbent government has set a clear and long-term vision for the country’s education system within just four months of assuming office.”
“The focus of this vision is to create world-class citizens, develop skilled human resources and make education job-orientated and technology-based,” he also said.
Bobby Hajjaj made the remarks while speaking at the Cambridge Press and Assessment Bangladesh Limited Launch Event 2026, organised by Cambridge International Education, at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Dhaka.
He stated, “currently there are more than 27 types of education streams in the country.”
A common minimum standard must be ensured for students of these streams so that students of madrasas, Bangla medium, English medium or government primary schools get equal opportunities in basic knowledge and skills, State minister added.
Highlighting the importance of teachers, Bobby Hajjaj mentioned that just as a car cannot run without wheels, the education system cannot run without teachers.
Talks are underway to use Cambridge’s teacher training programme and other international experiences to ensure world-class training for a large number of teachers in the country, he continued.
Officials from the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education, the British High Commission in Dhaka, and Cambridge University were present.
