Education Minister Nurul Islam Naheed Friday said the government would make a separate pay structure for the teachers and constitute a commission for appointment of the teachers to ensure technology-based quality education in the country, reports BSS.
The Minister said besides the financial support, the teachers will be given proper state honour and the government is working to this end. He urged the teachers to discharge their duties properly.
Mr Naheed stated this while speaking as the chief guest at the inaugural function of annual general meeting (AGM) of BCS General Education Association at Dhaka College auditorium Friday.
The AGM coincided with the installation ceremony of the association's newly-elected committee and reception to the newly- appointed lecturers.

Mr Naheed hoped that the members of BCS education cadre would make the government programmes successful by ensuring time- befitting and quality education.
The Minister said the 'Sonar Bangla', as dreamt by Bangabandhu would be established through turning the new generation into human resources by imparting to them modern education. In this regard, he suggested bringing fundamental changes in the traditional education system.
