It refers to the piece published in the opinion column of your daily on 12th October, 2005 by Mr. Shamsher Chouwdhury ( "Will the PM kindly tell us what is happening?") This was a very bold write-up, covering almost all aspects to be mentioned. I would have been rather more impressed if the writer added another most important national issue, the change of secondary education system from multi-track to uni-track. The system which the government is going to implement in 2006, may affect millions of students, if it goes wrong. The multi-track system is age-old and has proved effective and it is running very nicely since over half a century, why does it all of a sudden become a national need to change the system ? Is the cabinet fully agreed on this, or is it MoE's unilateral decision?If the government wishes to implement this system, it should give more time to the nation to think over its pros and cons. Don't implement it hurriedly.
