Govt plans English training for 2.47 lakh primary school teachers: PM to parliament

The government plans to implement a five-year Fifth Primary
Education Development Program, beginning 1 July, to provide English language
training to around 2.47 lakh primary school teachers, Prime Minister Tarique
Rahman told parliament today (15 April).
Responding
to a question from BNP Chattogram-7 lawmaker Humam Quader Chowdhury during the 14th
sitting of the first session, Tarique said 1.3 lakh out of 3,76,489 primary
school teachers have already received English language training under the
ongoing Fourth Primary Education Development Program.
The
remaining teachers will be covered under the fifth plan, he added.
He said the current government's election manifesto has
emphasised bringing all primary school teachers in the country under special
training programmes to improve their teaching skills.
