Dhaka:State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Bobby Hajjaj today emphasized the significance of 'National Revolution and Solidarity Day' as an essential chapter in Bangladesh's history and a crucial moment in the nation's political landscape.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Hajjaj remarked that just as August 5, 2024, marked a major shift in Bangladesh's democratic journey, November 7, 1975, also stands as a pivotal event in the country's history.

Hajjaj stressed the importance of providing the new generation with a comprehensive understanding of these significant historical events. He advocated for the study of history and its thorough inclusion in textbooks, noting that the history of Bangladesh is the history of the country, the nation, and the identity of its people.
He further stated that it is every citizen's duty to be informed about their country's origins, history, and traditions, underscoring the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education's commitment to ensuring that the new generation gains a deeper understanding of the nation's history. He also urged parents to support their children's physical and mental development through sports, exposure to nature, and social interactions.
In addition, Hajjaj highlighted the role of teachers, alongside parents, in shaping the future of children, emphasizing that families and educational institutions must collaborate to foster students' intellectual growth, creativity, and independent thinking. The event was chaired by the Principal of Milestone School and College, Mohammad Ziaul Alam, and attended by teachers, students, and other participants.
