Officials said the digital equipment were distributed under the Fourth Primary Education Development Programme to launch academic activities in multimedia classrooms in these primary schools to make lessons easily understandable for students.

The Upazila Primary Education Offices concerned distributed the equipment among head teachers of 174 GPSs of Kishoreganj upazila and 69 GPSs of Syedpur upazila at separate functions held at their respective offices.

In Kishoreganj, Upazila Parishad Chairman Shah Md. Abul Kalam Bari distributed the equipment at a function as the chief guest with Upazila Primary Education officer Sharifa Akhter in the chair.

The upazila level government officials, members of school managing committees (SMCs), teachers, guardians, civil society members and local journalists attended the functions.

Speakers at these functions said the present government is implementing various projects in the education sector aiming at ensuring quality education at the primary level as well as secondary, higher secondary and higher education levels.

UNO Golam Kibria urged the primary school teachers, SMC members and guardians to successfully run the multimedia classrooms and work unitedly to successfully implement the government's digitisation programme for faster development of the country.

"Education is the key to build a developed country beginning from rural villages by ensuring quality primary education for all children using digitised information and communication technologies," he said.

In Bhola, school campaign on health issues and nutrition was held today at Rob School and College at the Sadar upazila in the district.

District Civil Surgeon Dr Rathindra Nath Majumdar addressed the campaign as the chief guest with principal of the school Shafia Khatun in the chair.

Teachers of the school and health professionals of Bhola district hospital, among others, were present at the function.

Dr Rathindra laid emphasis on having healthy diets for ensuring optimum mental and physical growths of children. Such health campaign will play an important role in creating awareness on different health issues, he added.

Despite a considerable progress in different key indicators of health, nearly half of the under-five children are suffering from malnutrition in the country, other speakers said, adding, lack of awareness and inadequate knowledge about health causes malnutrition among children.
