Deputy Speaker of the National Parliament Advocate Fazle Rabbi Miah has stressed the need for ensuring education for all the girls in order to build an “enlightened nation.”
“As half of the country’s total populations are women, it is quite impossible to push forward the country towards desired development without their uplift,” he said.
The local lawmaker made the statement while addressing a function on foundation laying programme of a four-storied academic building of Udalkhali Girls’ High School in the district around 11 am on Friday.
He said: “Only education can help make the girls students worthy citizens of the country and build them self dependent economically in a bid to poverty and hunger free society.”
