In her words: “We are moving forward, we have many aims. Eliminating corruption from all sectors, including education, is our election pledge. The government is working on it.”
The education minister also said that the government is working to introduce an inclusive education where every child, including [of] ethnic [minorities], and physically-challenged, gets equal facilities.
“We have had many successes in the education sector in the last 10 years. No other government has achieved as much success as that of Bangabandhu’s daughter,” she added.
Moreover, the minister called on all officials of education-related ministries to perform their duties properly, from their respective positions, to reach their goals.
