Britain keen to invest in BD youth edn

James Goldman, the British Deputy High Commissioner and British Development Director in Bangladesh, said on Friday that the British government was eager to invest further in the education of young people in Bangladesh, reports UNB.

He made the remarks at the opening ceremony of the Second IHSB Inter-School Business Carnival, which is being held at the International Hope School Bangladesh (IHSB) in Uttara, Dhaka, from November 15 to 17.

The carnival, organised by the IHSB Business Club and supported by OkoTex, promotes business and entrepreneurship among students.

Goldman said, "The British government is investing in education in Bangladesh. Yesterday, I visited a school for underprivileged children funded by the British government. Today, I am here at the IHSB Business Carnival, and we are keen to invest further in the education of young people. It's great to see Sterling Education here. Partnerships like this between the UK and Bangladesh add value and foster collaboration."

The event features over 600 students from 50 prominent schools in Dhaka. Timothy Donald Fisher, CEO of Sterling Education, who also attended the event, emphasised Sterling Education's commitment to supporting education in Bangladesh and creating opportunities for teachers and students.
