This election is not only about political change, it is about whether Bangladesh will invest decisively in its future. Investments in children consistently deliver the highest returns through better health, stronger education outcomes, reduced inequality and sustained economic growth. Education demands honesty and urgencyToo many children leave school without the skills needed for work or civic life. Spending on health, education and child protection remains among the lowest globally. If the soul of a society is revealed by how it treats its children, then this election is Bangladesh’s moment of truth.
