BNP Acting Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Wednesday said true education is not merely about passing examinations through memorisation or obtaining academic certificates, but about developing foresight.
“Education develops foresight, through which true learning is achieved,” he said.
Rizvi made the remarks while addressing a freshers' reception as the chief guest at Mohammadpur Mohila College in the capital.
He said education becomes genuine knowledge when intelligence, conscience, humanity and reasoning are combined with learning.
True education broadens people's perspectives and lights the lamp of joy in the hearts and homes of students, he added.
Rizvi expressed hope that students would develop foresight through proper education and work for the country with self-respect after completing their academic journey.
He also said cultural activities alongside education could play an important role in the human development of students.
The BNP leader urged students to focus properly on creative education.
