Paragraph On National Education Policy 2011
The standard of education aligns with national dignity and strength. So, to enrich the education position of Bangladesh, the government approved the National Education Policy- 2011 introducing several compulsory subjects to primary and secondary levels of general, madrasah, and vocational education in order to establish a unified schooling system. It is yet to confirm whether English medium institutions in Bangladesh would be under this policy. The new policy expands free education up to class- viii from the previous class-v in phases at government and government-funded institutions. Compulsory primary education has also been extended up to class-viii from class-v and secondary education to class-xii from class-x. A one-year pre-primary education for children over five years old would be introduced. The new policy seeks to bring all students of the country, irrespective of their religions, genders, physical limitations, socioeconomic and geographic locations under one system.
