Textbooks in black market: Exposing anarchy in education system
In this country of endless possibilities, only the bad things seem to happen effortlessly. It is often said that if you pay enough, you can even get tiger’s milk in this country. Needless to say, this saying is mostly used in a negative sense. But who would have thought that even textbooks would fall victim to the black market? Up until last year, students in Bangladesh were accustomed to receiving free textbooks on the first day of the academic year. But this time, things are different. Due to political changes, there have been delays in printing the textbooks, leaving uncertainty over when students will actually receive them.
Let communal harmony be the final word
There is no doubt that there is an ongoing conspiracy to disrupt Bangladesh's communal harmony, particularly targeting the majority Muslim community; however, identifying who is behind this conspiracy is not easy. Naturally, one side blames the other for the conspiracy, but if we look at the events, it becomes somewhat clearer. After the political change in the country, people have taken to the streets with various demands in different sectors. Some groups are protesting for wage payments, others for the demand to upgrade colleges to universities, and some communities are fighting for the right to operate three-wheeled rickshaws on major roads. Additionally, various sections of society are seeking benefits or freedom from deprivation and fighting for their rights. Since August 5, this situation has been challenging for the government to handle, and in some cases, it has created embarrassment.
