Govt to Change 200 Primary Schools’ Names

The government has taken an initiative to change 200 government primary schools’ names which are inappropriate, said State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Zakir Hossain.

“A policy regarding this was issued on 23 January 2022. We have decided to publish gazette within six months,” he said.

He said this at the conference room of the secretariat at a press conference on Tuesday, reports BSS.

"We will change the negative names with decent and inspiring ones that honour our history, culture, prominent figures, and freedom fighters,” he said.

Secretary of the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education (MoPME) Farid Ahmed was also present there.
