The Education Minister said that BUTEX students have an important role to play in the country's economic development and strengthening the position of the textile industry in the global market.

He said that this is a big opportunity for the students admitted to this university. They will lead the country's textile sector in the coming days. We want Bangladesh to move forward as the world's leading country in ready-made garment exports. For this, it is very important to improve the quality of research.

Highlighting various initiatives in the government's education sector, the minister said that the Prime Minister is giving utmost importance to the development of education, especially technical education. There is no alternative to education to transform the country's large population into skilled human resources.

He said that initiatives have been taken to introduce midday meals and free school uniforms in primary education. In addition, work is underway to make education more enjoyable and timely. The government is also working to revise the national curriculum by 2027 and implement a new curriculum in 2028.
