Education
Education in the public universities in Bangladesh is turning into a failure: in the world of speed, technology and creativity, students in the universities are stuck with session jams, horrendous politics and worm-eaten notebooks. Politics in the universities should voice the demands of the students; I never heard anybody talking about the filthy toilets of Dhaka University, poor management of the libraries, age-old system of question formation, just to name a few problems. Nobody says 'sorry' for all the 'unavoidable circumstances' to avoid schedule classes. There is never any research to work out how students can get 'in campus jobs' so that they do not have to live a humiliating life.
The painful, humiliating, time consuming experience of earning a degree extinguishes the hope to achieve something larger than life.
The purpose of a university is not to produce the 'mediocre'; its purpose is to create outstanding personalities who have the confidence and acumen to create the future, no matter how poor and dominated a nation might be.
