"Education is needed for life, not for livelihood" says Quader

CNI Desk: Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader asked  the students on Saturday to realize the ground reality that education is needed for life, not for livelihood.

“Educational institutions have been reopened in different countries in the world including Europe and it resulted in increase of virus transmission. In the light with that experience, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is intensely observing the matter of reopening the educational institutions,” he said.

Quader, also Awami League general secretary, was addressing a discussion, joining it virtually from his official residence in Dhaka, on “Bangabandhu: lighthouse of Bangalees’ conscience” at Jatiya Kabi Kazi Nazrul Islam University at Trishal in Mymensingh.

 

After considering the whole situation, he said, when congenial atmosphere will prevail, the educational institutions will be reopened.

“Life comes as first priority, then building of future. If we remain alive, we can do everything,” he said urging the students and guardians to show patience to this end.
