The inclusion of private educational institutions under the government’s monthly payment order (MPO) will be done as the rules and their quality, Education Minister Dipu Moni said on Sunday.
Dipu was speaking at Kakina Uttarbangla College in Kaliganj upazila of Lalmonirhat district marking the birth centenary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and 50 years of Bangladesh’s independence.
She said those who fail to fulfil the conditions set by the government won’t be enlisted for MPO under which the government pays a large part of the teachers’ salaries in non-government institutions.
She said it is not possible to nationalise all secondary schools across the country without any study on the subject. The decision will depend on the results of the study and the government’s financial capability.
Dipu said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government aims at improving the quality of education in the country.
She said the number of school dropouts is decreasing due to various measures being implemented by the government.
