Speakers at a seminar Wednesday stressed the need for creating responsible leadership in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) through imparting quality education.
Organised by the CARE Bangladesh, the seminar on "CHT Children Opportunity for Basic Education" was addressed by Deputy Minister for the CHT Moni Swapon Dewan, Country Director of CARE Bangladesh Steve Wallac, Beth Page from the USAID and a couple of tribal people.

In his speech, Dewan stressed the need for developing responsible leadership for overall development of the CHT.
Appreciating the role of CARE Bangladesh, he said the organisation filled the gap with life-oriented innovative education programme in many remote parts of the CHT that has remained outside pale of government's education programmes.
While highlighting the CARE's education programme, Steve said it is a new programme in the education sector and totally different from other traditional activities of the organisation.
