Information Communication Technology (ICT) plays a significant role in developing human capital by bringing a revolutionary change in the education system focusing on rural schools & development by imparting education to the primary and secondary levels. The government has taken steps to incorporate ICT into the educational system by digitalizing academic books at the basic and secondary levels and making them available for free download across the country from the website. Learners can study more efficiently, flexibly, and comfortably in smart learning environments, which mix a physical classroom with several virtual learning environments. To make Smart Bangladesh a reality, the government has set up four pillars: Smart citizens, a smart economy, a smart government, and a smart society. Not to mention that the youth, who are already technologically aware, can advance the nation. Our ICT sector has made a great impact in the past 13 years; there were only about 5 million internet users back then; there are now 130 million. Currently, the combined annual revenue from the software, hardware, and service industries is $1.4 billion. That is how the government intends to create a "Smart Bangladesh" in which every person is educated in the use of the internet and is smart. Overall, this roundtable will guide and support those individuals who are interested in Smart Education and believe in the Smart Bangladesh concept.
