2,100 learning centres in remote areas .

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.
Khan hoped that the decision would help reducing the number of dropouts in those areas.
Currently, there is one teacher for every 50 students at the primary-level. This year 55,000 teachers were appointed and more teachers will be appointed soon to bring the students-per-teacher ratio to 40, the secretary added.
