Government schools needed
The government is going to establish a public university in Rangpur. The CTG inaugurated Rangpur University recently. Earlier, some other public universities were established across the country which have met the present demands of the people partially but no secondary government schools were established for a long time in the country. More government secondary schools are required in Rajshahi and all divisional towns.
There are only four government secondary schools for boys and two for girls in Rajshahi. The number of inhabitants of Rajshahi is increasing fast. With the increased population, the existing government schools are not sufficient. There are only 317 secondary government schools all over the country. Only 340 children will be admitted into class three in all four government secondary schools through an admission test soon for 2009.
Actually, people are interested to admit their kids into two government schools only and the rest of the four are not up to the mark in the guardians' view. The government should take the initiative to draw the attention of guardians through transferring dynamic head teacher/staff to these schools.
I would like to request the government to take timely and appropriate initiatives for establishing more government secondary schools in all divisional towns.
