In the past, no government could reach a consensus on an education policy, he said, adding the present government has formulated an education policy by including opinions from all levels of the people to bring a qualitative change in the education sector.
"We have taken a challenge to implement the education policy for ensuring quality education in the country," he added.
The existing education system cannot achieve the desired development of the country, the minister said adding technology-based modern education should be expanded to build a poverty-free and prosperous Bangladesh.
"Our education should be life-oriented and productive to expedite development process in the country . . . the government has formulated new curriculum at primary and secondary levels to make our education modern and creative," he added.
