In Bangladesh the educated mothers are highly empowered

Sharke Chaman Khan: “In Bangladesh the educated mothers are highly empowered and they have less illiterate or unnourished children.  Their children are not only better educated, they have better nutrition and they are better placed in the society. They achieve economically stable life” said the Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the United Nations and Vice-President of ECOSOC Dr. A. K. Abdul Momen at the Regional Meeting for Asia and the Pacific for the 2011 ECOSOC Annual Ministerial Review Jomtien, Thailand on 24th March. He stated this while he was making the introductory remark at the session entitled “Education and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.”Dr. Momen also mentioned that, “if developing countries must continue to improve performance in educating their people, it is imperative that their development partners, for their part, have to become even more generous and committed.” He was representing the President and the Bureau of ECOSOC in the meeting. The Council’s Annual Ministerial Review was established to track progress and scale-up efforts towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals.  The review is complemented by a discussion of current global trends, allowing ECOSOC to focus on obstacles impeding the globally agreed development agenda ― and more importantly, ways to overcome them.
