GOPALGANJ, Apr 25: Member of Parliament for Gopalganj-2 Dr KM Babar has said that the education system that existed over the past 17 years is now changing.
He said improving the quality of education requires development in all aspects, not just academics. "When students come to school and can engage themselves in studies alongside sports, mental development and knowledge acquisition, only then real progress will take place. If students achieve complete intellectual development, the overall quality of education will improve," he said.
