Education Minister Ehsanul Hoque Milon on Monday said the new syllabus and curriculum are being designed to make classroom-based learning the primary foundation, specifically to reduce students’ dependency on coaching centres.
He made these remarks while addressing the inauguration of “Primary Education Medal Competition 2026” in Mohammadpur. “Students cannot be confined within four walls. In addition to their studies, special emphasis must be placed on co-curricular activities,” the minister added.
During the event, he announced that the results of this year’s Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent examinations will be published by 20 July, with Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) results expected within the following two months.
To expand technical education and develop skilled human resources, Milon informed that the construction of 329 new technical schools and colleges across the country would be completed within the next two years.
He emphasised that modern and career-oriented education is essential for the next generation to build a developed Bangladesh, noting that the government has already begun the process of transforming the population into human resources.
Milon highlighted that the government is working tirelessly to implement the prime minister’s special agenda for education, which has received the highest budget allocation.
He shared a strategic plan to eliminate session jams by 2028, creating a system where students can transition directly from college to university without long delays after their examinations.
In a new welfare initiative, the minister announced that the distribution of free school dresses for students would commence in the last week of July.
He assured that revised and modified textbooks would reach all schools across the country by December, ensuring students have their books ready for the start of the new academic year. The event was attended by ministry officials, teachers, and students.
