SSC results and second shift
Going through a daily newspaper on 02-07-08, I learned that the education ministry had asked the principals of established colleges at Dhaka to open second shift in their respective colleges, so that they can accommodate the surplus students who will not be able to take admission in those colleges for want of seats, though they have got A+ in the public exam. The chairman of the Dhaka Board has also urged them to introduce second shift. I disagree with them in this regard. At the same time I would like to request the government to turn the colleges at upazila headquarters into Model College.
Firstly, a second shift means attracting all the students, especially the brilliant ones, to Dhaka. And if all the students go to Dhaka for higher secondary education it will create pressure on the colleges. Besides, the local colleges will be devoid of meritorious students.
The second reason is economic. Students from the districts will have to spend a lot more if they stay in Dhaka. And in near future quality education will become a commercial proposition.
I think the authorities concerned should consider my points.
