Don't run after question papers before exams
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid yesterday urged the students and their guardians not to look for question papers before the exams for the sake of their own future.
“A section of teachers is involved in question leaks, and those, who do it, are stigma for all teachers,” he said, adding that some guardians also get themselves involved in it.
“If the teachers and guardians do so, I will have no way to go. I am requesting the students and their parents not to run after the question papers which may ruin their [students] future,” the minister said.
He made the remarks while inaugurating an award giving ceremony of Developing the Reading Habit programme, a joint venture of the education ministry and Unesco, implemented by Bishwo Shahitto Kendro (BSK), held at the BSK office in Dhaka.
BSK organised the ceremony, marking World Book and Copyright Day, while it distributed more than 10 lakh books among 6,52,000 students of 11,744 educational institutions across the country.
About the reading programme, Nahid said students have to read different types of books beyond the text ones to earn more knowledge.
The programme will help them develop reading habit, he said.
The programme will also help the new generation become good people with knowledge and virtues, he added.
Bangla Academy Director General Shamsuzzaman Khan said the book reading habit will enlighten the young souls and help them avoid terrorism and wrong path.
Sohorab Hossain, secretary of the education ministry; Md Alamgir, acting secretary of technical and madrasa division of the ministry; Khondoker Muhammad Asaduzzaman, a trustee of BSK; SM Wahiduzzaman, director general of the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education; Beatrice Kaldun, head and representative of Unesco Dhaka office; and Mahmud-Ul-Haque, project director of Secondary Education Quality and Access Enhancement Project also spoke.
