Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid said the country will need another 50 years to fix the damages caused to the education sector by Khaleda Zia’s thoughtless imposition of blockade and hartals.
“BNP leader Khaleda Zia is trying to destroy the lives of students without the understanding the enormity of her actions. The nation will not forgive her,” he said.
The minister made these comments when speaking as chief guest at an event organised by Biyanibazar upazila administration to honour Liberation war freedom fighters and families of martyrs.
Nahid added: “The main tool for a nation’s development is education and that is why Sheikh Hasina’s government has placed so much importance on it. By forming a national education policy, distributing free text books and giving scholarships the government has prevented many students from withering away.”
