Tuesday, 8 June 2010
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid Monday said the implementation of the newly announced 'National Education Policy -2010' will be a great challenge for the government, reports UNB.
"All the people of the country including opposition parties and Alim-Olamas welcomed the national education policy. It is a rare event in our country. Now, it is a great challenge for us to implement the education policy," he said.
Nahid made the remark while addressing the meeting of the National Education Policy -2010 Implementation Committee at the International Mother Language Institute in the city.
Chaired by committee chairman National Professor Kabir Chowdhury, the meeting was attended, among others, by Primary and Mass Education Minister Afsarul Amin, State Minister Motahar Hossain and Education secretary Sayed Ataur Rahman.
Nahid said although six education-policies were announced after the 1962 education movement, none of them could be implemented for providing a guideline to the country's education sector.
"After taking power, the incumbent government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had formed a committee to announce non-communal and modern education policy and the committee published a draft education policy within four months," he said.
Recalling the positive response from all strata at the announcement of the policy, Nahid said this is the first time in the country that nobody raised their voice in cabinet in announcing the national education policy.
"Two former education ministers, former DU VC Emazuddin Ahmed and convener of the Education Policy-2003 Implementation Committee Prof Moniruzzaman Mia also welcomed the National Education Policy -2010," he said.
The education minister also urged all to come forward in implementation of the national education policy for creating a modern, technology and knowledge-based new generation.
