Digitisation process of educational institutions across the country under the project of access to information (A2I) will start from June this year.

Mr. Afzal Hossain Sarwar, Consultant, A2I told the FE that 15,500 out of them are secondery schools and the rest are Madrasas.
The Secondery School Department would implement the programme and the local administartions would supervise it, he said.
"All student in the school' can benefit from a laptop, sound system, projector and professionally-trained teachers from the MCs," he infomred.
ICT specialist Professor M Kaikobad, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) told the FE that he didn't think it would be effective in digitalizing the country.
"I don't think it would be effective, as there is a lack of experts for implementing in the programmes of digitalization including A2I", Professor Kaikobad said.
He said:" The urgent need is to set up the right people at the right place, secondly, making trained teachers. At present, I think, there is a lack of both".
According to the A2I, time duration of the project is two years.
