Creativity must for sustainable development: Dipu Moni

On Saturday, Minister of Education Dr. Dipu Moni emphasized the need for creativity in addition to technology for sustainable and meaningful development.

"The world's job market is becoming more competitive and challenging. To face the global challenge, we need to ensure quality education for all graduates," she said.

Dipu Moni, appreciating the conference organizers, said this type of event is important for the exchange between countries of cultural and educational views. "This is an important event for students and teachers because participating universities will learn from others and recreate their own institutions with the best ideas."
