Reforms to restore voting rights
The chief advisor of the interim government had announced the formation of six reform commissions, one of which was the Electoral Reform Commission. On October 3, 2024, an eight-member commission was formed, led by Dr Badiul Alam Majumdar, with the goal of ensuring fair, impartial, and participatory elections to establish a representative democracy. The full report of the commission has already been published on the cabinet division's website. The chief advisor has emphasized the importance of reforms, stating that a key focus of these reforms is to establish a fair electoral system and good governance. The chief advisor has called on every citizen of the country to actively and joyfully engage in this great reform movement. He has also urged the public to come forward for the implementation of the commission's recommendations.
Why no commission for education reform?
The interim government has formed several commissions to implement reforms in various sectors. These committees have already submitted their reports with recommendations to the government. However, the unfortunate reality is that no commission has been formed to reform the nation’s backbone — the education system. Although several commissions in the past have submitted reports for educational reforms, no government has implemented the recommendations of these education commissions. As a result, the current education system is unable to meet the demands of the times. We are producing a highly educated workforce, but there are doubts about how well-educated they actually are and whether they can contribute to building a prosperous state. Without creating a modern, technology-driven, and vocational education system, the nation will never reach its desired goals. The workforce our education system is producing is not capable of competing on the international stage.
