A daylong fair for technical jobs took place at PSC Convention Hall in the capital’s Mirpur today with thousands thronging to bag their desired jobs.

Children at Sirajganj's Kagmari char are now free from the hassle of making risky journeys to school on boats. They thank O Aa Ka Kha School, the brainchild of Sirajganj resident Dr Nazmul Islam, for that. The school not only saves the little learners' time but also provides them with education materials at a monthly fee of Tk 10 only.

In order to increase girls' participation in technical and vocational training programmes, efforts need to involve families, society, training providers, employers and government.
