Re: [chottala.com] FW: [dhakamails] Qoumi madrassahs doing good job, says WB

Education is required for the people to any country to know the country's natural resources to know the country's climates to know the country's all kind of animals, quality of land & other available things & materials in the country & to know what the benefits & how to use of those things, materials & resources.
It is the most essential duty to the personals of the Government Administrations, Ministry of education & Department of education who are getting their salary & other benefits from the people's tax & vats to know & to learn how they can provide quality knowledge education nation wide to all people for educating them the quality resources & knowledge education to making them quality skilled work persons.
But the personals that are getting their salary & other benefits from the people's tax & vats in the Government Administrations, Ministry of education & Department of education are very irresponsible & careless about their normal duties.
So the people are learning what they can learn.
