Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said her government is going to introduce a fresh national curriculum from the next year, with the purpose of raising Bangladeshi children as global citizens.
“We look forward to raising our children as truly global citizens. We are introducing a new national curriculum from next year. It will prepare our students for the Fourth Industrial Revolution,” she said.
She said this in a pre-recorded video containing Bangladesh's national statement, played at the UN Secretary General's Transforming Education Summit on Monday in New York.
She said the new curriculum will make them aware of becoming climate resilient. It will turn them into the real agents of our Vision- 2041 to become a developed, knowledge-based economy.
In higher education, Sheikh Hasina said, "We are giving priority to research and development. For technical education, we aim to have better industry linkages."
Stating that Bangladeshi children should have skills that they can use anywhere in the world, Hasina said, "We need international cooperation for mutual recognition of qualifications .We commit to improve access to foundational and lifelong learning.”
