Deputy Minister of Education Barrister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury Nowfel said, it is very important for our children to acquire skills in different languages. We are very backward in terms of language.
He said these things in the speech of the chief guest at the function organized on the occasion of APAB's 30th anniversary in Chattogram hotel Radisson Blu hall on Saturday morning.
He said, if we want to become a well-ordered nation, then we must develop ourselves as human beings with human qualities.
Korea is a very orderly country. We also have to become an orderly state. Chaos must be abandoned. Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman gifted an orderly state. Some selfish people have destroyed it. We are becoming an orderly state under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. If this large population has no skills, they will be educated only in general education. If their mentality is narrow, if they cherish religiously communal thoughts, if they cannot be global citizens, if they cannot fix their values and idealistic consciousness as a Bengali, then it will not be possible for us to get demographic dividend.
Korea was also lagging behind. They have come forward. We have to move forward in terms of language. The British became big people by exploiting the entire country. Our Asian countries did not grow by destroying anyone. They grew up through work, through hard work.
He also said that the Ministry of Education had many challenges. We have been able to face those challenges under the specific guidance of Hon'ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. He opened the knowledge about information and technology so that it is not limited to only a few people.
Digital Bangladesh is his creation so that my child can be a partner of information technology in this open world. And to take it a step further, he made various changes, from education curriculum to IT infrastructure; So that this youth can be prepared with knowledge and skills.
"We have also created a risk. By using this infrastructure, many types of disinformation, a disinformation campaign to create religious communal conflict is going on. To prevent our children from these, APAB must work to develop them mentally, humanely. We want them to do those things. We will definitely support them in their future journey.
Senior Secretary Helal Uddin Ahmed, Additional Secretary Hafizur Rahman, Retired Additional Secretary Shafiqul Islam, Retired Additional Secretary Kajal Islam were present.
