A large volume of Quality Primary Education activities have been being going on in full swing in Bangladesh. In fact, all the countries of the world have been giving due emphasis on Education For All and ensuring quality primary education. Along with, other developed and developing countries of the world, we have been implementing the pledges and commitments, given to the International agreement done with the UNO and other organizations. In this article, I would like to discuss and offer some suggestions to popularize the age-old Primary Schools and Quality Primary Education Programs, on going throughout Bangladesh. A number of officers, teachers and staffs, have been working hard for ensuring quality primary education for the future generation, ages from 5+---10+ children in our country. But our activities are not being visible and can’t draw the attention of the mass community. But why? It lacks proper steps and active initiatives. Most of the people of the country don’t know that Bangladesh primary education system is now no longer in such an old age, but gone far in this high-tech world. A few number of Private or Kindergarten Schools, those offer primary education to the students of the same age of primary schools have become very much popular, working with limited students and localities. The Activities of these types of schools have been being focused much more than the government primary schools, those have been working harder and largely than them. Perhaps, we are not aware of that this is the age of publicity and advertisement. For this, we are lagged behind. We can follow the techniques given below for upholding proudly the vast activities of government run primary schools and their successful activities.

1. All schools should be conscious of making public their attractive teaching-learning activities and producing good students.

2. All the head teachers of the good primary schools should take some initiatives offering attractive education packages and they should publish their previous excellent records of good results as well as scholarships. They also should make public the good records of their former students.

3. Name and fame of the good teachesr should be upheld to the community and the guardians.

4. Primary Schools should be made attractive, both internally and externally.

5. Child-friendly and joyful learning environment should be ensured in all the primary schools.

6. Dress-up and get-up of the students should be made attractive and smart enough.

7. Co-curricular activities, cubing and cultural programs should be geared up.

8. Each and every school should be impressive and environmentally good-looking.

9. Quality of all the activities must be paid heed to improvement of schools.

10. In fact, government primary schools are the main light-house of education.

Finally, this article is one of my primary education thinking. I have already written a series of writings on the topic. This is the fourth one. If the K.g schools can bring good name working for a few students, then why not the government primary schools. We must have to do it, near future.
