Bobby Hajjaj calls November 7 a pivotal chapter in national history.
State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Bobby Hajjaj today described 'National Revolution and Solidarity Day' as a significant chapter in the country’s history and a crucial turning point in the national politics.
He said just as August 5, 2024 marked a major shift in Bangladesh’s democratic journey, the November 7, 1975 also stands as a pivotal event in the country's history.
He said this while speaking as the chief guest at an annual cultural and prize distribution ceremony, organised by Milestone School and College in Mohammadpur, Dhaka.
The state minister stressed providing the new generation with a clear understanding of these significant chapters in the national history, advocating for the study of history and its proper inclusion in textbooks.
Bobby Hajjaj said: “The history of Bangladesh does not belong to any specific party or group; rather it is the history of our country, our nation, and our identity.
On the international stage, a Bangladeshis’ primary identity is simply Bangladeshi.”
So, he said it is the duty of every citizen to be informed about their own country- its origins, history, and traditions.
He said the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education will take necessary initiatives to ensure the new generation gains a deeper understanding of the nation’s history.
He urged the parents to provide children with not only love and protection but also opportunities for physical and mental development.
He said sports, exposure to nature and interactions with social environment are vital for a children’s healthy development.
Bobby Hajjaj said teachers, alongside parents, play a crucial role in shaping the future of children.
Families and educational institutions must work together to foster the intellectual growth, creativity, and independent thinking of students, he added.
Chaired by Principal of Milestone School and College Mohammad Ziaul Alam, the event was attended by teachers, students and others.
Earlier, Bobby Hajjaj attended an event organised by Gausia Islamia Fazil Madrasa marking the National Revolution and Solidarity Day.
