The government is set to introduce a new curriculum and an integrated teacher policy as part of sweeping reforms aimed at improving the quality of primary education, State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Bobby Hajjaj said on Monday (July 6).
Speaking to journalists after visiting several government primary schools, including Agargaon Taltola Government Primary School in Dhaka, he said the reforms are part of a long-term plan to boost school attendance, address learning gaps and ensure quality education.
The initiative includes restructuring the curriculum to make it simpler and more student-centred, alongside formulating a comprehensive teacher policy covering recruitment, training, continuous professional development (CPD) and performance-based evaluation.
Bobby said the government is also expanding technology-based learning, with plans to introduce smart classrooms, video lessons, flat panels and instant assessment systems to better track student progress and provide remedial support.
Free uniforms, improved infrastructure and enhanced monitoring systems are also being implemented under the reform programme, he added.
Officials have been conducting field visits to primary schools nationwide over the past four months to assess classroom conditions and learning outcomes.
In Dhaka, infrastructure gaps are being reviewed under the “Drishtinandan” project aimed at modernising government schools.
“While most students are performing well, teachers have been instructed to provide special support to those lagging behind,” he said.
“The goal is not just to improve infrastructure, but to bring fundamental changes to the quality of education by integrating students, teachers, administration, technology and the curriculum.”
Education officials, teachers, students and guardians were present during the visit.
