Education for the general public.

Mass education means education for the general public. This doesn’t mean regular education at schools, colleges and universities. This is the education, imparted to the illiterate people of the country so that they may at least read letters and newspaper. They should also know how to write simple things and keep household account. Bangladesh is a land of villages.

Eighty percent of her people are illiterate. This hampers the uplift ment work of thecountry. So it has become necessity to educate the general people so that they may work efficiently. All the developed countries are advanced in education. Ninety to ninety nine percent people of those countries are literate.

But the majority of  the people of Bangladesh are illiterate. So, they can’t take part in the development projects of the country. As a result, no project is completely successful here. Our present Government is aware of this. So, the removal of illiteracy from the country has been taken up as the second step of the peaceful revolution.

--> Adult education centers have been set up in existing schools and mosques as well as at suitable places. Books have been printed for this purpose and they have been distributed free among the adult students. Students, teachers and many other educated persons are now engaged in teaching the illiterate people.
