Education policy

Indrajit Das, Department of English, Chittagong College
To have a proper and effective national education policy may be a great boon to the nation. It is good news that we are going to have a new national education policy. Positively, we hope that it would bring about a radical change in our education sector towards betterment. The class range of primary and secondary education along with other facilities is appreciable. Moreover, the decision on decentralisation of National University by setting up centres in all divisions is also highly admirable. But it's really shocking that MPs will have direct influence on governing bodies of the educational institutions. Would it be fair to have political bodies' influence upon educational institutions? It is widely known that our education sector is a common victim of political chaos. So, we hope the govt. will think about the matter over and over again, and place the national interest above party interests.
