RAJSHAHI, Jan 30, 2020 (BSS) – Mayor of Rajshahi City Corporation AHM
Khairuzzaman Liton has said the present government of Prime Minister Sheikh
Hasina has attached top priority to technical education aimed at generating
skilled human resources.

“The government is pledge-bound to take the country forward through
substantial and sustainable improvement of technical and vocational
education,” he said while addressing a function here today as the chief
guest.

Technical Training Centre (TTC) organised the function to mark the
reception of its new students and farewell of SSC (Vocational) students at
its playground.

Chaired by TTC Principal Engineer Abdur Rahim, the function was addressed,
among others, by Deputy Commissioner Hamidul Haque, Superintendent of Police
Muhammad Shahidullah and Deputy Commissioner of Rajshahi Metropolitan Police
Tariqul Islam.

Mayor Liton said technical and vocational education and training among the
youths are very crucial for transforming Bangladesh into a middle-income
country.

He also viewed that technical education could be an effective means of
building competent and skilled human resources. Role of skilled people is
also very important for earning more foreign remittance which is significant
for the country’s development.

He also described the government’s decision to promote remittance inflow as
significant through exporting manpower legally and urged the officials
concerned to make people more aware of going to overseas markets legal way.
