BNP will allocate GDP’s 5% to education if comes to power: Tuku
BNP Standing Committee member Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku today said if BNP comes to power through the next election, it will allocate 5 percent of the GDP to the education sector.
He said this while speaking as the chief guest at a views-exchange meeting on BNP’s 31-point state reform outline with students of Sirajganj Government College at the college’s Shaheed Shihab auditorium.
Tuku, also BNP-nominee from Sirajganj-2 constituency, said students are the helmsmen of future Bangladesh so that BNP’s Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman clearly outlined the party’s vision for an improved education system in point number 25 of the 31-point state reform programme.
On the occasion, the BNP leader also answered various questions from the students.
Principal of Sirajganj Government College Professor Muhidul Hasan chaired the meeting while member of BNP’s National Executive Committee and General Secretary of Sirajganj District BNP Saidur Rahman Bachchu, District BNP Vice-Presidents Nazmul Hasan Talukder Rana and Amar Krishna Das, and Joint General Secretary Rashedul Hasan Ranjan also spoke at the event, reports BSS.
