HC moves on separate question papers for English medium students
The High Court today sought explanation from public university authorities as to why they should not be directed to introduce separate question papers for admission seekers from English medium institutions.
The HC bench of Justice Quamrul Islam Siddique and Justice Sheikh Hassan Arif came up with the order following a writ petition filed by Atiqur Rahman, a Supreme Court lawyer, in this regard.
In the rule, the court also asked the authorities concerned to show cause as to why they should not be ordered to provide facilities to the English medium institutions which aspirants from Bangla medium institutions enjoy.
Petitioner’s lawyer Reza Md Sadeqeen told reporters that the public universities take admission tests in Bangla question paper. Therefore, admission seekers from English medium institutions face problems.
The University Grant Commission chairman, education secretary, health secretary, vice chancellor of Dhaka University, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), principal of Dhaka Medical College and director of medical education have been made respondents to the rule.
