Prime Minister Tarique Rahman today pledged continued government support to promote mathematics education and expand Mathematics Olympiad activities across the country, with a particular focus on taking the initiative to the grassroots and school levels.
“We will provide whatever support is required from the government in the future to further expand mathematics practice and Mathematics Olympiad activities in the country,” he said, agreeing to proposals to establish a fund for school-level Mathematics Olympiad programmes and introduce activity-oriented mathematics in schools.
The Prime Minister made the commitments when Bangladeshi medal winners of the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) and European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO) paid a courtesy call on him at his office at the Cabinet Division of the Secretariat, said PM’s Deputy Press Secretary Shahadat Shadhin.
During the meeting, the medal-winning students exchanged greetings with the Prime Minister and shared their experiences of participating in international mathematics competitions and their achievements.
