'Education shines but...'

Rashid Harun, Mohammadpur, Dhaka
To mark present government's three years in office, The Daily Star has started publishing evaluation-based reports on each day focusing on the performance of specific ministries under the title “Three years of the government”. On December 27, 2011, it highlighted the performance of education ministry. Under the title “Education shines with success”, the reporter appropriately threw lights on different praiseworthy efforts of the ministry. But I am sorry to say that the minister is not giving his due attention to the National University (NU), the largest University (affiliated) of Bangladesh. Among many problems, the session jam ranks number one problem for which the students are to waste their valuable 3/4 year. We believe it is not an impossible task if the education minister handles the issue properly.
