Dhaka: The initiative to introduce questions that stimulate students’ creativity in public examinations is yet to meet success, says Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid.

‘We could not fully earn the successes of the creative question system in public examinations. We have tried to make it a one hundred percent success in our educational management,’ he said.

The minister came up with the remarks while he was speaking at a prize giving ceremony at Bishwo Shahitto Kendro (BSK) in the capital on Saturday, reports UNB.

The BSK gave prizes to the 153 best organizers of a program titled ‘Developing the Reading Habit’, being directed by it in Dhaka division, under the Secondary Education Quality and Access Enhancement Project (SEQAEP).

The program runs in 11800 educational institutions in 250 upazilas across the country.

The minister said the students should not pass their examinations by only memorizing their lessons or by any process. Teachers should build their students to be creative.

He said the teachers have been given special training on the creative questioning system.

Presided over by SEQAEP director Mahamud-Ul-Hoque, the function was addressed, among others, by Education Secretary M Sohrab Hossain, Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE) director general S M Wahiduzzaman and Bishwo Shahitto Kendro president Abdullah Abu Sayeed.

The BSK has been recognizing the best organizers of ‘Developing the Reading Habit’ since 2013 in a bid to encourage them.
