Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina announced on Thursday that the curriculum has been updated to help reveal students' hidden talents. Speaking at the inauguration of the National Primary Education Week-2024 at Osmani Memorial Auditorium, she emphasized that merely reading books is insufficient and that creating opportunities for children to showcase their talents is essential. This modernization includes integrating modern technology knowledge into the curriculum.

The theme for the week is "Children-Friendly Primary Education, Lesson of Smart Bangladesh." The government aims to develop a balanced, public welfare-oriented, universal, and standard education system. Plans are underway to establish computer labs in every primary school, having already begun this initiative in secondary schools.

In the event, 126 stakeholders in 18 categories were honored with the "Primary Education Medal 2023," with 54 students, individuals, and institutions receiving the medal directly from the Prime Minister. State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Rumana Ali and Primary and Mass Education Secretary Farid Ahmed also addressed the function.
