Introduction: Education is compared to light. It dispels the curse of ignorance.

It brings out all round development of the body and mind. Everyone has a right of education. It is his fundamental right.

Mass education: Giving education to the illiterate mass is called mass education. No nation can prosper by keeping her vast majority in the abyss of ignorance. Mass education makes people conscious of their right and duties. It helps them to become good citizens. It makes them patriots. During the British and Pakistani rule no steps were taken in this direction. Now we are a free country. It is now time for us to education our illiterate masses for the overall development of the country. It will be a curse for us if we keep our 80% people in the dark.

Government’s effort: Our government is aware of this national problem. It is making sincere efforts to solve this problem. It has made Primary Education compulsory for children. The Radio and the Television are also making programmes every day for this purpose. Our duties: We should help the government in making the mass literacy programme a success; Night school should be opened in every village on government and private initiative Unemployed educated youths may be engaged for this on giving them a subsistence allowance. The poor students of the night schools should be given reading and writing materials free of cost. They may be given some extra facilities to ensure regular attendance.

Local teachers and students can be used: The government can use the teachers of the local schools. College and madrasah to organize this campaign. Imams of the mosques and the students after their final examinations can be engaged for this. We must remember that this is gigantic task Co-operation from all quarters is essential to make it a success.

Conclusion: Our government has given top priority to education. It has allocated a huge amount for education in the national budget. It has also given a greater stress on mass literacy programmes and on compulsory education. We are hopeful that if bold step is taken and the co-operation of all is got from all quarters the curse of illiteracy will in no time be eradicated from Bangladesh.
