‘Govt strongly considering to include educational institutes under MPO’

Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid today said the government is strongly considering to include some educational institutions under MPO (Monthly Payment Order ) process.

"The government has a plan to incorporate some educational institutions under the MPO process as soon as possible," said the minister while responding to a private members resolution placed by M A Maleque of Dhaka- 20 at the Jatiya Sangsad here.

The government has taken the decision as per the approval by the Prime Minister and assurance of financial availability by the finance minster.

The education ministry is working with its all effort to bring these educational institutions under the MPO process, said Nahid, adding that "it is not strategically right to disclose all these affairs in the house."

Earlier, the BNP-Jammat alliance government had stopped the process of MPO after including 1,026 educational Institutions in 2004.
