Rajshahi govt college shows integrity

OUR staff correspondent's report from Rajshahi on Wednesday regarding an attempted but aborted enrolment of some BCL-chosen candidates to higher secondary level at Rajshahi Govt. College was not certainly run-of-the-mill type. This is because the college authority held its ground making sure that students who met the admission tests criterion only succeeded in enrolling themselves at the college.
The 'outsiders', some 20 odd activists of BCL did not rest content with pressing an unfair demand on the college authority only, they went so far as vandalizing the furniture of the auditorium to force admission of their favourites to humanities and science sections. But this was resisted by the principal of the college who successfully 'completed the admission process' and strictly following the merit lists did he provide berths to  the deserving admission-seekers.
Clearly, the college authority by holding its ground has set an example of courageously defending integrity of an institution having to do with educating future generations and infusing the right values in them. We cannot allow our educational standards to have a free fall due to any form of abuse of power.
Whilst heads of educational institutes fulfill their remit, local administration and political party leaders, particularly the local influentials, must help them do it. Meanwhile, the police case that has been filed should be brought to its logical conclusion.
