Corruption in education
Education is the backbone of a nation. No nation can prosper without education in this competitive world. Bangladesh is a developing country. We have not forgotten that Bangladesh won the inglorious first place as a most corrupt country in the world. Before election, every political party displays their strong commitment against corruption. But after coming to power, they completely forget their commitment.
At present, corruption is prevailing in all public organisations. Leakage of question paper of the secondary level assistant teacher recruitment exam is one of the glaring examples of corruption in the education sector. A strong syndicate is involved with this crime which is leaking various government recruitment examination papers since 2003.
Not only the small employees but also some high profile officials are involved in this heinous act. The government should investigate the matter thoroughly so that none can dare to do this in future. From ministry to upazilla, in every sector no file moves without money. During the caretaker government, we did not see such open irregularities and corruption in the education sector. The present government seems unable to stop corruption.
Our request to the government is that we do not want to see Bangladesh topping the list of corrupt countries any more. For digitalising Bangladesh, the government should take necessary steps against corruption.
