Govt to create multimedia digital education content: PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said her government is trying to create multimedia digital education content. Various private agencies are involved in this.

The premier said this while inaugurating ‘Digital Contents’ for students of primary schools at Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) in city on Sunday.

She said, ‘The government undertook different measures for the development of primary education after assuming power in 1996’.

But unfortunately, literacy rate had decreased, dropout rate in primary schools also had increased after 2001 during BNP regime, she added.

She also added that, watching something on digital media aids in the learning process and stays in the children’s mind. Therefore, incorporating digital education in the primary education is important.
