On the occasion, she talked with teachers and students of Government Bangabandhu College, Gopalganj; and Sylhet Mahila College through video conference. “Our all boys and girls are meritorious. They all can pass the examinations if they are given proper supports and guidance,” Hasina said. She expressed gratitude to teachers for their hard mental and physical work to teach their students. She also thanked the education ministry, all education boards, teachers and students for their contributions tox complete the examinations successfully.
