New education policy to shift focus from result-oriented assessment: Education minister
Education
The new education policy will shift the focus from result-oriented assessment, Education Minister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury has said.
"We must move away from the tendency to assess based solely on results. It is not possible to achieve comprehensive educational development just through results," he said while addressing the opening ceremony of the final phase of the 52nd National Winter Sports Competition at the Rajshahi Muktijuddho Smriti Stadium on Wednesday.
"A new education policy is being developed, with a significant portion of the new curriculum dedicated to sports. We will make every possible effort to implement this new curriculum," he added.
The minister said sports would be integrated into educational programmes.
"A major part of the new education policy will involve activity learning, where students will achieve education through engagement in activities"
In the 52nd Winter National Sports Competition this year, around 7 lakh competitors initially participated, and narrowed down to 824 students – 424 boys and 384 girls – across 13 different events.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina virtually inaugurated the final phase of the competition from Dhaka.
Among others, Mayor of Rajshahi City Corporation and a member of the Awami League's presidium AHM Khairuzzaman Liton, Secretary of Secondary and Higher Education Division Solaiman Khan, Secretary of Technical and Madrasa Education Division Dr Farid Uddin Ahmed, and Rajshahi Divisional Commissioner Dewan Muhammad Humayun Kabir, were present
