Education Minister ANM Ehsanul Hoque Milon has stated that the education sector requires a significant structural and modern transformation rather than mere minor adjustments.

Talking to reporters at a welcoming event at the Secretariat today (18 February), his first working day, the minister conveyed that he and State Minister Bobby Hajjaj are committed to overhauling the education sector.

He emphasised that plans and programmes will be formulated to bring the country’s education system in line with global standards.

“We are in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. We must acquire expertise in fields like nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and robotics. We must transition to digital platforms and enhance both digital and English literacy,” said Milon.
