Tutorials on Internet

S. Ahmed, Gulshan, Dhaka
Tofazzal Hossain deserves special thanks for introducing us to the Khan Academy through his letter dated 18.9.13. I have visited this site on YouTube and found the lectures extremely interesting and informative which is a boon to most school and college students all over the world. It is mentioned in the introduction that India has the largest number of users after the US which is not surprising as most Indian students are quite proficient in English. However, the situation is very different in this country. Except for English medium students, the site will be of little or no use to the vast majority of Bangla medium students of the present generation as they would be unable to follow and understand the instructions of the tutorials given in English.
