Educational institutions
Teaching is a very noble profession and teachers are looked upon with much reverence. We used to think that this profession does not have any hazards, but not anymore, the present situation of our country has made us change our minds. Now-a-days we frequently hear about teachers being harassed by students, they are physically attacked, get confined, verbally abused and so on. The latest incident was reported in The Daily Star on September 28, 2010. It described the brutal attack of Awami League activists on Md. Abu Taher, Principal of Tabalchhari Green Hill College in Matiranga upazila of Khagrachhari district. It was disclosed that the attackers severely beat him and broke his left leg. Since the Awami League formed the government, unrest has erupted in many educational institutions across the country. Bangladesh Chhatra League is clashing among themselves and also attacking Chhatra Dal and Chhatra Shibir. We learned that on September 27, 2010 a group of BCL men stabbed an activist of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal on the campus of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, which left him critically injured. If this is the condition of our educational institutions, then what is the future of the country?
