Chittagong Bureau :
Housing and Public Works Minister Engineer Mosharraf Hossain yesterday expressed the hope that Bangladesh would become a developed country before 2041 if the present progress in woman education continued.
The minister said during our college life there were a few female students at Chittagong Municipal Model School and College, but at present the number of female students has reached almost double compare to the male students.
The female education rate is on the rise as the government gives highest priority to the issue and takes all necessary steps for its development, he added.
The public works minister said this while speaking as chief guest at the inaugural function of ‘Pipelika Bangla Utshob-2017’ held on Chittagong Municipal Model School and College Maidan this morning.
