DHAKA, May 15, 2024 (BSS) - Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said that following her government’s steps to offset the impacts of climate change, the vulnerability of the poor and marginalized community has declined. During the meeting, different issues, including child and mother mortality rates, reproductive health, child marriage and girls education came up for discussion. Turning to women education, Sheikh Hasina said the girl students surpassed boys both in number and academic performance in the school examinations in Bangladesh. Coming in power in 1996, Sheikh Hasina said, her government framed policy to promote girls education in line with her experiences gathered after she returned home in 1981. Besides, now a larger number of girls are coming to schools as employment scopes for girls have widened, she noted.
