‘Change should be made in education to remove corruption’

Staff Correspondent: Law Minister Anisul Huq said that only law is not enough to curb corruption. Change should be made in syllabus of the education system to remove corruption from the society.

The minister made the opinion while addressing a seminar at national press club in the capital on Sunday.

I will request the education minister to add these in the syllabus of our text books, he said.

The minister also said, “I think integrated initiatives should be taken to face corruption. That’s why the use of information and technology should be ensured in all sectors.”
