Staff Reporter:
Education Minister ANM Ehsanul Hoque Milon on Friday clarified that under no circumstances will anyone with insufficient education or lacking interest in education be allowed to serve on the managing committees of educational institutions.
He said the government is considering including only those who are educated and have contributed significantly to the development of education.
The minister made the remarks at Kachua Upazila Parishad during a National Education Week event, after distributing prizes to competition winners and wheelchairs to persons with disabilities.
The education minister said that many education enthusiasts have made notable contributions to improving education, and the government is discussing how to include socially responsible individuals in school managing committees.
He added that final decisions will be taken in consultation with parliament members and the Prime Minister.
Addressing media questions, Milon dismissed reports suggesting that semi-educated individuals would be allowed on committees, calling them incomplete and misleading.
Addressing journalists, the minister urged responsible reporting, emphasizing that statements should be presented in full context and reflect the complete truth.
On SSC and equivalent exams, the minister said the government is preparing for the upcoming exams starting April 21 under the existing system, while planning to introduce new, practical, and modernized rules in the future.
He also expressed his commitment to making Kachua a model area for education, which could then serve as a blueprint for the rest of the country.
