Science education

Shahriar Kabir, Eskaton Garden Govt. Officers' Quarters, Dhaka
Recent statistics show that the number of students opting for science studies is declining. Many believe the opportunity for career development is much better for a student studying Business. Whether this assumption is true or not, it is definitely true that more and more meritorious students are moving away from science studies. Our govt. is fighting a losing battle to stop this Brain Drain. Many also believe that the govt. provides little or no support for science students, especially engineers, for their career development. I hope the govt. will look into this matter seriously in order to ensure that future progress of our country is not hindered due to lack of pioneers in the field of science.
