BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman has said that he wants to make primary school teachers far more competent and skilled in order to ensure proper education for children.
He said, “In the reels you have made on education, you mentioned what we have done in primary education. Social values must be taught in schools. That is why we want to place emphasis on primary education. Our focus is not on constructing school buildings or putting up new four- or five-storey schools. Rather, we want to use that budget to make primary school teachers more qualified and to provide them with training. That training will include academic instruction, as well as teaching children social and religious values.”
He made the remarks on Saturday afternoon during an informal interaction with the winners of the National Reels Making Competition at Justice Shahabuddin Park in Gulshan. Tarique Rahman’s daughter, Barrister Zaima Rahman, was also present at the event.
Responding to a question on cyberbullying, Tarique Rahman said, “If we teach children from a young age what is right and what is wrong, what is white and what is black, then I believe that at a certain point it will become ingrained in their minds what is just and what is unjust.”
The national reels making competition, titled ‘My Vision of Bangladesh’, was organised under the initiative of the BNP. The event was held under the banner ‘Meet and Greet with Tarique Rahman’.
