Give attention to proper educational activities: PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today asked the authorities concerned to give attention to the educational institutions whether educational activities are conducted properly there.

"Our students are meritorious and we're giving all sorts of facilities to them. Why they couldn't pass in the examination? So I think that special attention will have to be given to all institutions whether educational activities are properly run there," she said.

The prime minister said this while formally inaugurating the free textbook distribution programme and receiving the results of this year's Primary Education Completion (PEC), Ebtedayee, Junior School Certificate (JSC), Junior Dakhil Certificate (JDC) and equivalent examinations at her official Gono Bhaban residence in Dhaka this morning.

Sheikh Hasina formally opened the free textbook distribution programme by handing over books of primary and secondary levels to students.

The premier also directed the authorities concerned to formulate time-befitting curriculum for the students to keep pace with the modern world.

"The world is changing regularly. So we'll have to prepare a time-befitting curriculum to keep pace with the modern world," she said.
