MATLAB UTTAR, Chandpur, Oct 15, 2018 (BSS) – Disaster Management and
Relief Minister Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya has said education has been
made accessible to all the general students through nationalising schools and
colleges at upazila level.
“Now, no student would stop study for want of money as the government
implemented the visionary initiative of nationalising schools and colleges at
upazila level,” he told a rally on Sunday after unveiling a plaque at
Chhengarchar College here, marking the nationalisation of the college.
Due to the government’s pragmatic measures, Maya said, education rate and
quality have increased at grassroots level, according to a press release

Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had taken the
initiative of nationalising educational institutions for the first time, the

education to eradicate illiteracy from the country.
Later, he (Bangabandhu) started nationalisation of schools and colleges
gradually, Maya said.
Local political leaders and government officials as well as teachers,
students and guardian were present at the function.
