The government is moving to bring all English-medium schools in Bangladesh under a single policy framework as part of broader efforts to ensure quality education, accountability, and student safety across the education sector, State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Bobby Hajjaj said on Wednesday.
Speaking during a visit to The Aga Khan Academy Dhaka, the state minister said the initiative is aimed at establishing a more integrated and accountable education system that guarantees high standards of teaching and learning while safeguarding national interests.
“Ensuring quality education for every student remains a priority. The unified framework will help maintain educational standards, strengthen accountability, and ensure a safe learning environment for students,” he said.
During the visit, the state minister toured a student exhibition featuring research projects, innovative ideas, and creative presentations developed by students.
He interacted with participants and observed a range of initiatives showcasing critical thinking and innovation.
Boby Hajjaj emphasised the need for an education system that goes beyond academic achievement and prepares students for future leadership roles.
“We want students not only to excel in examinations but also to develop the ability to think critically, innovate, and lead. Today’s learners will shape tomorrow’s Bangladesh, and equipping them with world-class skills, strong values, and creativity is one of our key objectives,” he said.
The state minister also stressed the importance of ensuring equal opportunities for students across different educational streams, including Bangla-medium, English-version, and English-medium institutions.
“Regardless of the curriculum they follow, all students should have equal access to national values, civic responsibility, and internationally competitive skills,” he added.
Praising The Aga Khan Academy Dhaka for its modern teaching methods, student-centered learning approach, and leadership development programmes, Boby Hajjaj called for wider adoption of research, innovation, and creative learning practices in educational institutions across the country.
Teachers, students, and officials of the academy were present during the visit.
