Driving school
Most people in Bangladesh are poor. Mostly their votes led to the landslide victory of the Awami League in the last parliamentary election. And it is high time to do something for their welfare. A portion of the poor youth can be converted into manpower. They should be trained in professions like driving.
The government may set up one driving school in each district town in Bangladesh. The young men who are poor in respect of wealth can have training in the driving profession. Some of them also can go abroad and earn money to live a relatively decent life with their families. There is good demand of drivers in western and Middle Eastern countries. In the last 38 years, the governments spent a huge amount of money for general, professional, technical and religious education which benefited the middle class and the rich people. They did not consider the well-being of the majority who are poor. But in a country of democracy, the interest of the majority must not be overlooked. We would like to look forward.
The present government must take programmes for the betterment of the poor people. When the poor will be financially solvent they will contribute to development of a prosperous society.
