Some teachers involved in question leak: Nahid
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid yesterday held a section of teachers responsible for the question paper leak, and said the questions were being leaked and shared on social media just after handing those over to the teachers on the exam day.
“After handing over the question papers to the teachers in the examination hall, we feel secured and safe. But, the questions were being shared on Facebook 40 to 50 minutes prior to the exams… So, who are leaking the questions?” he asked.
“We don't want such teachers who destroy the morals of our children; we want teachers with values and norms,” said Nahid.”
The minister made the remarks at a human chain organised by Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) in front of the capital's Jatiya Press Club to raise awareness against corruption.
Holding banners and placards, school students, teachers, government and non-government officials participated at the human chain.
ACC also held similar events at different city points and districts.
“We are in such an environment that we can neither disclose anything nor accept. But we will not tolerate these further,” the minister said. "We are maintaining zero tolerance against corruption, but we're not saying that there is no corruption in the education ministry."
The minister said there were few teachers who compel the students to take tuition instead of giving them proper education in the classrooms. Those teachers do not have the right to stay in their positions, he said.
Terming corruption a global problem, ACC Chairman Iqbal Mahmood said, “A change in our mindset is necessary."
Deputy Commissioner of Dhaka Muhammad Salah Uddin also spoke.
