Edu Minister: New curriculum to contribute to job creation

Education Minister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury on Sunday said the new curriculum will contribute to job creation as per domestic and international market demands.

“The government has introduced a competency-based and student participation-based curriculum instead of the traditional curriculum,” the minister said when a delegation led by Edimon Ginting, country director of the Asian Development Bank in Bangladesh, paid a courtesy call on him at his office at Parliament Secretariat.

During the meeting, the ADB country director assured the minister of enhanced cooperation for the development of technical and vocational education and teacher training.

He said the Asian Development Bank will always stand beside Bangladesh to build inclusive and dynamic education management through effective coordination between technical and general streams.

Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury said ADB can play a role in sharing teaching-learning experiences of countries in the Asian region in implementing the new curriculum.

The ADB country director hoped the new curriculum would help to transform Bangladesh's potential human capital into human resources.
