It's time to harness students’ energy for developing social capital

When students unite, they can accomplish the impossible, and the student community of the country has once again proven this. The student movement demanding quota reform in government jobs ultimately led to the resignation and departure of Bangladesh’s most powerful leader after 16 years in power – something unthinkable just a short while ago. This movement was initially dismissed with negative comments and ridicule from the highest levels of government. Yet, students have demonstrated that when united and unwavering in their goals, they can overcome any challenge.
