Discrimination-reducing budget expected from interim govt
In the face of a challenging global economy, creating a budget in a densely populated country like ours is a difficult task. It cannot be confined within the conventional rules of economics. Among the sectors essential for the social, economic, moral, and intellectual development of a nation, education is one of the most important.
In the upcoming budget, education must receive higher allocation
Globally, it is recommended that national budgets allocate at least 20% or 6–8% of GDP to the education sector. However, in Bangladesh, education consistently receives less than what is necessary. Crafting a national budget for a densely populated country like ours, amid global economic uncertainty, is undoubtedly a complex task. It cannot be strictly guided by conventional economic rules. Education remains one of the most crucial sectors for the social, economic, moral, and intellectual development of a nation. It is directly tied to the awakening of citizens’ intellect, thought processes, strength, and sense of purpose. Unfortunately, the state continues to fall short in taking the necessary measures for the development of this vital sector.

Many people believe that simply achieving economic development will fulfill the primary goal of development, but this belief is not entirely accurate. Development is a comprehensive concept, not limited to just economic progress. While economic development is an important indicator, it is not the sole measure of overall development. In other words, without achieving positive progress in other development indicators alongside economic growth, it cannot be considered balanced development. Economic growth is crucial, but it is not the only criterion for developmen
