State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Bobby Hajjaj, MP, has called for making sports a mandatory subject in primary textbooks in order to implement the commitments of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman.

Divisional Deputy Director of Primary Education for Khulna Division Dr. Md. Shafiqul Islam delivered the welcome speech, while Jashore District Commissioner Mohammad Asheq Hasan presided over the session.
