Our education System
In this sub-continent, the education system is more or less the same everywhere. It is undergoing significant changes in other countries, but the situation remains unchanged here in Bangladesh.
There is something wrong with the attitudes of the parents in our country. They want their children to get high grades , but acquisition of knowledge remains a neglected issue. The students memorise everything, but do not really learn their lessons.
The result is that the standard of education is going down and we have already lost that competitive edge when it comes to students from other neighbouring countries.
