The government is working for rapid expansion of technical and vocational education to transform the country's huge population into skilled human resources, Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid said.
"We have prioritised most of the technical education in the National Education Policy-2010 to turn our huge population into skilled human resources," the minister said, adding that technical education is the key mechanism to resolve the country's unemployment problem.
Mr Nahid said this while addressing a gathering on the Central Shaheed Minar premises in the city Saturday after attending a rally on the occasion of Technical and Vocational Education Week-2010.
Hundreds of teachers and students from different technical educational institutions in the city took part in the rally.
