Scholarships in Bangladesh for Spanish medical students

Making education, communication and international transactions like the developed world's technology dependent, which is called digitization in one word. Acceptance of technology-based documents is the highest in the present world. Once the acceptance of our country's passport was less in many countries. When that passport was converted into a fully technology-based machine readable passport, its acceptance increased manifold.

And for this, the government wants to transform the country as a developed smart Bangladesh within the year 2041. After Digital Bangladesh, Smart Bangladesh plan is the most important and visionary decision of this century. Because developed world countries have already transformed into smart countries. Even many developing countries have come a long way in transforming into smart countries. Therefore, to maintain the country's development and progress, the country must be brought closer to the developed world.

With the aim of building a Smart Bangladesh, four pillars have been defined and these are Smart Citizen, Smart Economy, Smart Government and Smart Society, the current government is fast-tracking the implementation of its declared Vision 2041 program. He mentioned that, it is clear that if these four sectors of the country can be developed as fully technology-based smart sectors, nothing will be left to transform into a smart Bangladesh.

And that's why the government is moving forward to implement a fully technology-based smart education system in the world. Especially Bangladesh medical and dental courses are recognized as the best and affordable to the developed world including South Asian countries. But these courses are quite expensive in the developed world.

For this reason, the number of students from South Asia as well as the developed world is constantly increasing to take admission in low-cost medical and dental courses in Bangladesh. High standard of medical education, relatively low course fees and scholarships paid by the Government of Bangladesh make this course more attractive to foreign students.

It has been decided to give long-term visas to Spanish students in Bangladesh with incentives. 70,000 Bangladeshis living in Spain are very proud of the government's decision to transform Smart Bangladesh.

Their belief has been proved through this speech, the sincerity and goodwill of the government in the implementation of Smart Bangladesh.

In this regard, Mohammad Sarwar Mahmud, Ambassador of Bangladesh assigned to Spain, mentioned that Spain is the fourth export destination of Bangladesh. Besides strengthening trade, investment and economic relations with Bangladesh, 'smart service has been launched at the embassy to issue visas to Spanish students with sincerity to enroll in various government-approved educational institutions in Bangladesh. And he said that various programs will be taken up in Spain by Smart Bangladesh.

According to a notification sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh, Bangladesh will grant visas to Spanish students for the entire duration of their respective courses in various educational institutions approved by the Bangladesh government or in an internship program.

ATM Abdur Rauf Mandal, Chief of Mission of Bangladesh Embassy, said that the government's decision to implement Smart Bangladesh is to make the visa process for Spanish students and interns smarter and faster to study in Bangladesh. Besides, it will serve as an incentive for Spanish students to pursue higher education in Bangladesh in the future.

Redwan Ahmed, Commercial Counselor of the Embassy, also expressed hope that this decision of the Bangladesh government will be more helpful in strengthening bilateral cooperation as a positive reflection of the high-level exchange of visits and government communication between the two countries, including business and commerce.
