British Council
British Council is an eminent organisation which aims to help the students of Bangladesh to get acquainted with the English language. It also provides scholarship for meritorious students who can't afford to study in foreign universities to acquire a better degree. British Council acts as a helping hand to solve these problems and eventually, its contribution in Bangladesh is an eye-striking one. Besides, being a helping aid, it has well-equipped library facilities and every year some courses are organised to give tips about good English spelling, learning and most importantly, free-hand writing. But the astonishing thing is that it has branches in Dhaka, Sylhet and Chittagong but not in Rajshahi. Rajshahi, as a divisional town, is regarded as the city of education. RUET, Rajshahi University and the outer campuses of different private universities substantiate the claim. As a result, thousands of students are missing these facilities. English medium schools like Paramount, Blue Bell, etc. could have made excellent progress if there was a little back-up from British Council. British Council can also develop those who want to take teaching as a profession so that they can teach the O-level and A-level students. The O-level and A-level exams are usually taken in Teachers' Training College (TTC) but it would have been better if there was a permanent office of British Council. I, as a student of an English-medium school, would request the British Council authorities to consider my point.
