BNP is killing innocent people for serving their purpose: PM at Bagerhaat

The Prime Minister said Awami League government has introduced the system of public examinations at primary and junior school level to remove the fear of the students of secondary school certificate (SSC) examinations. Public examinations at primary level and junior school level encouraged the students to carry out their studies more attentively for better result. As a result, pass rate in the SSC examinations has been improved, she said. Sheikh Hasina opined that the opposition leader could not accept the progress of the students. That is why, she (Begum Zia) is enforcing hartal on every exam day to destroy their life, the Prime Minister added.
The Prime Minister urged the Leader of the Opposition to refrain from trying to protect the war criminals. "Don't try to protect the war criminals, people will not accept it," she said. Pointing out the steps taken by the present government for providing various support for the school students, the Prime Minister said, stipend, scholarship and free textbooks are being given so that poor families do not face any hurdle to educate their children. The Prime Minister mentioned the academic background of Begum Zia and said, "Leader of the Opposition may want our children to follow her. That's why she is giving hartal on every examination day to defer the exams."

Multimedia classrooms were set up in the schools making computer education compulsory up to secondary level. "Computer education will be made compulsory at primary level if we come to power again," she said.

From their home they now can find various information and job in the local and international market, and communicate with relatives abroad, she said.
