Next generation has to be equipped to face challenges

Referring to Bangladesh's drive towards the high-income status in 2041, Centre for Research and Information (CRI) Trustee Radwan Mujib Siddiq has prioritised ensuring that the next generation is equipped to face the challenges of a rapidly changing country in an increasingly complex world, reports UNB.

"Bangladesh has its sights firmly set on three significant milestones over the next two decades: least developed country graduation in 2026, Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) attainment in 2030, and becoming a high-income economy in 2041," said Radwan, editor-in-chief of policy-based quarterly WhiteBoard.

"Over these two decades, today's schoolchildren will gradually take over the responsibility of continuing Bangladesh's progress as a nation."
