Education minister Dipu Moni on Tuesday said that the educational institutions which do not have their own lands will not be given the monthly pay order (MPO) facility in future, reports BSS.

The educational institutions which were set up in rented houses and were given MPOs, will have to relocate to their own places within the next five years, she said.

She stated this while addressing a virtual meeting on MPO policy (revised) for 2020 of private educational institutions.

Dipu Moni also said that the educational institutions run by any trust or institution will be included in the MPO on the basis of the opinion of the members of the trust or organisation.

Deputy minister for education Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury Nowfel also attended the meeting.
