Uni-track education
The controversial uni-track education system is finally postponed for a year. There are chances that it would never be implemented in its present form. Science is neglected in this system, and believed to degrade our primary and secondary education system. It is strange that the bureaucrats and politicians did not think of consulting with the country's educationists before thinking of implementing it. Thanks to Prof Zafar Iqbal of Shahjalal University and others, who tried to prevent it from being implemented. Now we should ask the government, about the huge amount of public money spent for planning of uni-track education. Can a poor country like ours afford such a huge loss of money for the experiment of our bureaucrats and politicians? We should also ask the government to investigate into how the money is spent by these people responsible for the implementation of uni-track education system.
