Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said, “We are providing education assistance to millions of students across the country through the Education Assistance Trust.” We are committed to building educated and skilled human resources. In this case, the rich will also come forward.

“Our education assistance will help in the trust fund or in the educational institutions in their respective areas,” he said. The development of the institution from which you have studied and the help of the students there is really moving forward.

He said this while inaugurating the distribution of stipends, tuition fees, admission assistance and medical grants among poor and meritorious students from the Prime Minister’s Education Assistance Trust through the Ministry of Education on Sunday (February 26). The Prime Minister joined the function organized by the Ministry of Education through video conference from Ganobhaban.

Sheikh Hasina said, “I am announcing the inauguration of education assistance program worth Tk 8 crore 52 lakh among one crore 63 lakh 600 students.” From 2010 to 2021, assistance of Tk 36 crore has been distributed free of cost. It hasn’t stopped this year in Corona either. I thank the Ministry of Education for this.

“We have decided to open the educational institution by March 30,” he said. I am also making arrangements to vaccinate teachers and students. We are committed to building educated and skilled human resources.

The Prime Minister further said, “I took the initiative to form this trust by forming the government in 2009.” We established it in 2012. Through this, stipends, tuition fees, admission assistance and medical grants are being given at secondary and higher secondary levels. Fellowships are being offered in higher education.

Sheikh Hasina said, “I formed the government in 1996 and took initiative to spread education all over the country.” I started the movement to build an illiterate Bangladesh. I have also got success in that. We take steps to diversify education. I have also given importance to technology education. The first medical university in Bangladesh was also run by the Awami League government.

At that time, the Prime Minister complained that the BNP-Jamaat alliance did not want the people of this country to be educated. They stopped the initiatives we took in ’96.

Secretary to the Prime Minister’s Office Tofazzal Hossain Mia conducted the function from the edge of Ganobhaban. Education Minister said. Dipu Moni, Deputy Minister Muhibul Hasan Chowdhury, Mahbub Hossain, Secretary of the Secondary and Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Education, Aminul Islam Khan, Secretary of the Technical and Madrasa Education Department.
