Government colleges galore

At present there are over two hundred and fifty govt. colleges in Bangladesh. The number of govt. colleges was about ten in 1970 and their performances were enviable. But during Ershad regime private colleges were nationalized right & left for the sake of cheap popularity. On the one hand, this has resulted in huge recurring expenditures from public funds and on the other hand performance of many of these colleges has gone down dismally. Instead of improvement in teaching standard & performance in exams, the result has been just the opposite because teachers are more interested in private tuition rather than classroom teaching. This is because they feel that their jobs are secure. Performances of many private colleges are much better then a large number of nationalized colleges.
Hence I feel that the govt. should make a survey to identify poor performing govt colleges & denationalise them. This will result in twofold benefits. Due to accountability of teachers to local managing committees they will try to perform better. The govt will also be benefited by saving huge expenditures on account of these colleges. Existing teachers of the govt. colleges need not lose their jobs because they can be transferred to other govt. colleges & may even be retained in those colleges temporarily on deputation until they are adjusted in other govt colleges.
Will the Ministry of Education look into it?
