Press and public interest
There has always been a furore that pressmen aren't free to work; that they face so many handicaps and threats. But what we observe is men in both print and electronic media have become conspicuously biased. The newspapers maintain a particular lobby, albeit they claim to voice public sentiments. Don't you think this hypocritical attitude can hardly win the appreciation of the common people? As for myself, I have sent many letters and articles to you for your kind perusal and giving it a space in your paper. Many of which written absolutely in public interest but with a sufferer's undertone were not published at all.
The new education policy is in the hatching. The committee dealing with that consists only of university professors or so, but the bulk of the students are at the secondary level; whereas secondary level teachers have never been given due importance in the decision-making regarding our education policy. Have you people ever thought who work at the grassroots level? Who are the backbone of the present education system in Bangladesh?
