Promoting science education
A statistical finding has been published some days ago in an eminent Bangla newspaper telling that the number of students in science group is going down drastically. Students are now more interested to study in commerce group as they think that commerce-oriented courses, especially business administration, are more pro-career than science. It's no way the fault of our students to think that way as every human being considers his/her future. The mindset of the students can only be changed if they find bright career prospects in the science courses. The policymakers of the education system of our country should go for an overhaul in this sector. Now, let's consider some backdrops of our science education on which they can work.
To begin with, research facilities in our universities are below average, I should say. Also, the textbooks don't cover the latest updates of scientific developments. Then, teachers are not highly trained or knowledgeable enough. On top of all these backdrops, the career opportunity of core science subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, and math is very low.
A secular and science oriented pro career education policy is must for the development of our country.
