Today's world is a changing one. To keep pace with the changing world we have to change our education system. If this change comes frequently and casually then this would fail to make any appeal among the people rather create embarrassment.

Now such change or reform is frequent in the education system of Bangladesh. Within seven to eight years, we have experienced several changes i.e. communicative English, Grading system and so on.

In 1999, the government introduced communicative system at secondary level and in 2001 in higher secondary syllabus. This system caused a lot of controversies among the people. The main benefit of it is that there is no opportunity to copy in the exams and only the eligible students can pass out. Besides, considering the importance of traditional grammar and literature based system, which was no less important than this communicative system, in our country there is no proper practice of four skills of communicative system such as listening, reading, writing and speaking. Most of the teachers of our country are not trained, before any change we need to make our teachers trained, so that they can make our students efficient.
