Shushikkha andolon
I welcome the news of launching a forum to help promote education called 'Shushikhya Andolon' by Dr. Wahiduddin Mahmoud and Professor Abu Saeed. Both, in my consideration, have very distinctive standing in our civil society. Unlike the so-called members of civil society, their political alienation is less visible. Their action and speech has reasonable acceptance to greater public and they have good contributions towards our society. They do have real success in their career as well.
When these personalities engage themselves in this kind of initiative, it looks real and hopefully will go a long way to improve the level of education in terms of quality and conditions of the education institutions in general.
One should appreciate the fact that this is a Herculean task to make a breakthrough against the strong traditional coteries and weak infrastructure of the institutions. This noble cause should be supported by all so that they can effectively promote and attain the objectives.
