Restore educational environment in BUET

Teachers of BUET have been on strike since 7th April boycotting all academic activities. As a result, commencement of the next term is delayed. In the last press conference the teachers' association urged the VC and Pro VC to resign. Political influence on the administration and alteration of results are the major allegations brought against them. In the circumstances, BUET has reached a deadlock, threatening the career of over 5000 students. Though previous academic year started in February, it is doubtful whether the new academic year may start even in May. Last year teachers boycotted classes demanding elevation of retirement age which was followed by students' urge for delaying the exams. This is how education life is prolonged in BUET. SUST has almost completed half of its academic year while BUET students are sitting idle. If this deadlock is allowed to aggravate, thousands of meritorious students will have to pay the price. I respectfully urge the education minister will put his foot down to put an end to the ongoing deadlock.
