Interim Govt Chief Adviser Orders E-Learning in 100 Hill Tract Schools This Year

Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus, Chief Adviser of the interim government, has directed the implementation of e-learning programs in 100 schools in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) within this year. However, officials have highlighted challenges such as electricity shortages, lack of internet connectivity, and a shortage of skilled teachers in the remote areas of the CHT.

The directive was issued during a meeting held on Wednesday at the state guest house Yamuna. The meeting was attended by CHT Adviser Supradip Chakma, Liberation War and Disaster Management Adviser Faruk-e-Azam, Food and Land Adviser Ali Imam Majumder, Chief Secretary to the Chief Adviser Siraj Uddin Miah, and officials from the Primary and Secondary Education Division.

To address the electricity shortage, Dr. Yunus suggested the use of solar panels, while mobile networks and Starlink services were proposed to tackle internet connectivity issues. Additionally, he advised preparing a list of schools and recruiting contractual teachers for a specific period to address the shortage of skilled educators. Dr. Yunus stated, “To ensure quality education in the underdeveloped areas of the CHT, a list of 100 schools must be prepared first. We need to identify the shortages—whether it’s internet, equipment, or other resources—and start work as quickly as possible. Classes must begin within this year.” He further emphasized, “Skilled teachers from major urban educational institutions will teach mathematics, science, and English online to students in the CHT. This will ensure that students there are not left behind. With good teachers and facilities, many talented students will emerge from the region.”

During the meeting, the CHT Adviser briefed Dr. Yunus on improving livelihoods and environmental conservation in three CHT upazilas. The Chief Adviser instructed coordination with relevant ministries to formulate plans in this regard.
