DHAKA, Oct 31, 2025 (BSS) - BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman's Adviser Dr 
Mahdi Amin today said their party wants to establish an education system free 
from urban-rural disparity.

"Our leader Tarique Rahman envisions an education system where there will be 
no difference between city and village schools. His plan includes increasing 
facilities for primary school teachers and providing each teacher with a 
tablet computer so that they can join the best training programmes from rural 
areas," he said.

Dr Mahdi Amin made the remarks while addressing a discussion titled 
"Children's Growth, Development and Psychology", organised by Jatiyatabadi 
Jubo Dal in the capital today.

"Tarique Rahman wants a Bangladesh where our students will grow up as global 
citizens-fluent not only in Bangla and English, but also in a third 
international language," he said, adding that education should nurture 
creativity rather than rely on compulsion.

"If BNP comes to power, we will introduce a new subject from class six titled 
Learning with Happiness, which will include arts, literature, and sports. We 
want a system where sports become an inseparable part of learning," he added.

Mahdi Amin said the BNP's education vision also includes engaging students in 
environmental and social development activities. "That's why our leader has 
proposed One Child, One Tree-each child will plant one tree every year and 
take part in canal excavation activities," he said.

Amin added that if BNP assumes power, multimedia classrooms will be 
introduced in all primary and secondary schools across the country, aiming to 
bridge the quality gap between urban and rural education.

"Our leader believes education must be more practical and employment-oriented 
so that young people can not only find jobs but also become entrepreneurs. We 
will strengthen vocational and technical education," he said.

Mahdi Amin also recalled that students from public and private universities, 
colleges, schools, and madrasahs played a leading role in last year's mass 
uprising, where more than 50 children embraced martyrdom.

"If we are to uphold the spirit of that movement, we must ensure a better 
future for our children-a Bangladesh where they can grow as enlightened 
citizens," he said, adding that the country's large youth population is its 
greatest strength.

Jubo Dal President Abdul Monayem Munna presided over the event.
