Dhaka, Oct 18 (bdnews24.com)—The prime minister has emphasised ensuring education for children, saying that it will usher in a bright future for the country.
"Child rights have to be established. Ensure that no child is deprived from education," Sheikh Hasina added, while addressing a programme organised by Sheikh Russel Shishu-Kishor Parishad on Tuesday, marking the 47th birth anniversary of her youngest brother Sheikh Russel.
She continued that the children are the future leaders of the country and urged them to concentrate on their studies to become good human beings.
Only two days before, education minister Nurul Islam Nahid claimed at a programme in Sylhet that more than 99 percent of eligible children go to school. However, there are debates over the government statistics.
She reminisced of her younger brother and his death in the Aug 15 killing of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and other family members, and lamented, "Rehana and I survived since we were in Germany at the time. If we had taken him with us, he would have survived."
Hasina went on to highlight various initiatives taken by the Bangabandhu Memorial Trust to help out deprived children.
