A female MP from Jamaat-e-Islami, Nurunnesa Siddiqua, has advocated for free education for male students, mirroring existing provisions for females. She raised this demand during the general discussion on the proposed national budget for the fiscal year 2026-27 in the 13th National Parliament. Siddiqua argued for equal access to education regardless of gender, stating that boys should benefit from the same tuition-free policies currently available to girls. The call was made on Wednesday, June 24th, during the 14th day of the second and first budget session. Her proposal seeks to extend financial support for education to include male students, potentially broadening access to learning opportunities nationwide. The MP’s statement occurred within the broader context of parliamentary debate surrounding the allocation of funds for the education sector.
