Education should be digitalised for creating manpower: Mustafa Jabbar


Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology Minister Mustafa Jabbar on Wednesday said that digitalisation of education is necessary to turn the country’s 65 percent of youth into manpower.

He came up with the remarks at a programme over Mujib Borsho organised by Netrakona district administration.

“There is no alternative to turning all classes of educational institutes digital and free wi-fi zone has been set up at 587 educational institutes,” he said.

Besides digital education, the government is also expanding the technology of teletalk and BTCL to remote areas including shoals and islands, he said.
