DHAKA, Jan 3, 2018 (BSS) – Social Welfare Minister Rashed Khan Menon today said the people of the country are now reaping the benefits of development activities of the education system as implemented by the current government.
“BNP destroyed the education system in the country during its tenure… The people of the country are now getting the benefits of development activities of the education system implemented gradually by the current government,” he said.
The minister made the remarks at a view exchanging meeting with the leaders of Bangladesh Teachers’ Association (BTA) at his residence in city’s Mintu Road area this afternoon.
