At the meeting, the Trust Bank Limited agreed to provide loan at 9 percent interest for purchasing laptops under Refinance Schemes of the Bangladesh Bank.
“Laptop loan for students is not only supporting them for e-learning but also creating an opportunity to improve their ICT skills, which is useful for earning money and ensuring wider access to job markets,” Education Secretary Nazrul Islam Khan said.
The Education Secretary pointed out that the access of students to ICT would also help create income-generating opportunities through outsourcing and other ICT-related activities.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education held a series of meetings with Dhaka University authorities for initiating laptop loan for students and there has been significant progress in this regard, the Education Secretary said.
