Classrooms

Dr. M. Rafique Uddin, Banani, Dhaka
I hear so much about digital Bangladesh but the future personnel who are going to carry it through do not have the bare electronic instruction facilities to make them competent for the job. I am talking about most of the public universities of the country. Most of the classrooms in those varsities do not have computer aided instructions facilities in the classrooms. Professors are using very old fashioned chalkboard to teach complex science material. For explaining most of the modern science concepts clearly and accurately to the students, the professors need to draw complicated flow charts and diagrammes. It is virtually impossible to do all the graphics on the chalkboard in a lecture hour. Due to lack of proper electronic instruction facilities in our classrooms our university graduates are not getting quality education. We should immediately allocate resources so that at least all sciences and technology classrooms of our universities are equipped with computers and LCD projectors. To complete the digitisation we should also connect the classrooms with Internet so that the teachers can use the vast web resources for instant reference in the classrooms.
