Replying to a question from the journalists, the minister said that above all, academic qualifications, merit and capability are taken into consideration, when recruiting newly enlisted MPO teachers as trainers.  

There are many experienced teachers who don’t have the capability of training others, she said. 

The aim, she said, is to transform education in the country through highly skilled, trained teachers. 

Urging people of her constituency to vote for her, Dipu Moni said Banaganbandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s daughter Sheikh Hasina is  working relentlessly on her new vision to turn Digital Bangladesh into Smart Bangladesh.
