Scholarship quota
To encourage and to provide some financial support, the government of Bangladesh has been giving scholarship to students of class V. Pupils of general education who are in class V are eligible to appear in this primary scholarship exams. The quota has been fixed for each thana area to provide opportunity to the students all over the country. On merit and quota basis students are selected for this scholarship. Say, a particular thana has a quota of 50 scholarships, 50 students are selected on the basis of scholarship exam results.
In the last couple of years, the area under Motijheel thana in Dhaka city has been divided into four parts, namely, Motijheel , Sabujbag, Khilgoan and Paltan and new thanas have been set up. In case of quota for primary scholarship all the four thanas are still treated as one thana like before. It may be mentioned that in case of junior scholarship, separate quota has been fixed for these four thanas.
I would like to urge the authorities concerned to arrange separate quotas for primary scholarship under Motijheel, Sabujbag, Khilgoan and Paltan thana areas on the basis of the number of schools, students , voter population, or whatever the government may think fit.
