Bangladesh government plans to increase the number of students in technical education to 30 percent by 2030, from the existing 17 percent. According to the official document, the enrollment rate in technical education, which was less than 1.0 per cent 12 years ago, is now 17.25 per cent.
The government has taken the move as one of its principal aims to create skilled human resources in information technology compatible with the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
To that end, the government is laying emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) based education and training, according to an official document, reports UNB.
To meet the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution the government is giving importance to teaching appropriate technology-based subjects in the classroom and is allocating a budget to the National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) for bringing necessary changes in the curriculum.
