he government has taken initiatives to set up 2,100 learning centres in the far flung places of the country.
The primary and mass education ministry will initially install 10 centres at each Upazila situated in the remote areas like hill, haor (water body), tea gardens and shoals, secretary Abu Alam Mohammad Shaheed Khan told reporters on Thursday.
The proposal for a fund of around Tk 1.48 billion to implement the project has already been sent to the government's planning commission, he added.
The centres will be installed for a three-year period to be operational by one teacher, and may be turned into permanent schools if necessary, the secretary said.

Govt will step forward for Vision 2021: Hasina
Prime minister Sheikh Hasina, attending the 65th United Nations General Assembly in New York, has said her government will not stop once it has achieved the MDGs by 2015, rather will step forward to materialise her party's ' Vision 2021'.
Hasina met with members of the press from the US and Bangladesh at the meeting hall of the permanent representative to the United Nations in Manhattan, New York, on Monday.

Bangladesh has been awarded by the MDG Award Committee for its outstanding achievement in reducing child mortality, a target of the UN development goals (MDGs).
She said, "We are determined to turn Bangladesh into a poverty-free, self-dependent country".
Hasina mentioned the importance of non-resident Bangladeshis, their cooperation in the nation's independence war and in the development of the war-torn country.
The prime minister recognised that NRBs have stood by the country during its troubles and through difficult periods, and implored the NRBs to invest in Bangladesh and raise the image of Bangladesh worldwide.
She told the media that an NRB Welfare Bank would soon be set up to secure their investments in the country.
Hasina said that no nation could develop under a dictatorship and pointed out that Bangladesh had been under several dictators, who had no plan to develop the nation.
She stressed that her government had come to power with the mandate of the people to march towards the dream of vision 2021, an election pledge of the government to mark outstanding developments within the period.
Sheikh Hasina answered a few questions from the members of the press. She also displayed the award Bangladesh received for playing a significant role towards achieving the MDG.
Dr Abdul Momen, permanent representative to the UN, briefed on the activities of the Bangladesh mission and prime minister's speech addressing the UN General Assembly. Finance Minister AMA Muhith, foreign minister Dipu Moni, and foreign secretary Mijarul Quayes were also present at the briefing.

BNP doctors blame govt for anthrax spread .
Former health minister Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain has blamed the government for its failure to contain anthrax.
"The disease has spread like an epidemic due to the government's indifference and as vaccines distribution has been delayed."
Mosharraf was addressing a discussion on anthrax organised by the pro BNP physicians' platform, Doctors' Association of Bangladesh (DAB), at the National Press Club on Monday.
Former fisheries and livestock minister Abdullah Al Noman alleged that the government was wrong to declare a 'red alert', alarmed over the spread of this disease, which created a panic among the people.
Professor of Institute of Epidemiology Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) Dr F M Siddiqui and professor of microbiology and hygiene department of Agricultural University Bahanur Rahman jointly presented the keynote paper on the causalities and remedy of anthrax.
Mosharraf, also a BNP standing committee member, said the first case of human anthrax was found in Sirajganj one year ago. The disease could not spread panic if the government had taken initiatives in primary stage. "It could be possible to control the disease quickly if the government created awareness among the people properly."
Noman said the cattle traders have been affected mostly due to the red alert. "We have to create mass consciousness to overcome the situation. The government should make the vaccines cheaper."
The keynote said the disease is curable and there was nothing to panic.
"There has not been a single death from anthrax so far. There are effective vaccines for anthrax, and some forms of the disease respond well to antibiotic treatment."
Anthrax cases were first detected on Aug 18 among 26 villagers in Sirajganj.
Chaired by DAB president professor Dr AKM Azizul Haque, former vice-chancellor of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) professor Mohammed Tahir, were also present among others.
DAB secretary general professor A Z M Zahid Hossain moderated the function.
