Prime Minister Tarque Rahman has outlined a plan to provide free education to women up to the honours level, aiming to expand access to higher education for female students.
He discussed the initiative on Sunday (August 16) while exchanging greetings with local residents during a National Fisheries Fortnight 2026 programme in Pakundia, Kishoreganj.
The government has previously stated that it wants to extend free education for girls from the intermediate level to degree or honours level. The plan also includes scholarships for students who achieve good academic results. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Prime Minister Tarque Rahman previously said that students receiving the free education opportunity who achieve strong results would be considered for scholarships. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
