I think this educational system is not so bad, but I think the main problem lies in the implementation of this system. Before making the educational system modern, the Govt. should make all the people modern linked to the educational system.It is a matter of regret that most of the teachers of school and colleges of our country is not so much modern in their mind (Specially in the rural areas). Moreover it is not clear that what will happen to our High School and College system, Will the High School Teachers be treated as Primary School Teachers and College Teachers as High School Teachers. However each new step faces some difficulties at the very beginning. Now its the Govt. turn that how could they solve, tackle and overcome this problem? But according to my little experience I will be a herculean tusk for the Govt.

1. Religion must be opotional.
2. Many of the school teachers are not fit for HSC level. So existing teachers should be proposed to joint as primary school(up to class eight & full govt). I think a good number of teacher will receive this. because it is full government and they are not fit for HSC. so that primary level need not appoint new teachers and High School level needs less teachers to be appointed.

A holistic education system is desirable by all, but the present education system in Bangladesh cannot be attributed to the “un” and negative words in the article. A look at the other side of the coin will show numerous Bangladeshi talents of the new generation being produced.

Modernising education through environment studies,health and nutrition, character studies, conflict resolution, etc. is indeed a good way to developing ‘moral and responsible’ citizens. However, let us not forget about educating children with special needs in the same classroom. Schools having special needs students would provide practical knowledge to normal students to develop skills of communication, adjustment, adaptation,response and dealing with differences.They will learn to be tolerant,
supportive,patient and contribute as responsible individuals and citizens. Practical learning offers best education and inclusion of children with special needs in classrooms will contribute to positive behavioral changes. Although this is a matter of great controversy, I agree that early age is the best age for learning as children are unaware of differences. For a knowledge-based, skill-based and character-based education system developing social, cultural and moral values is important. Children need to be exposed to practical knowledge apart from curriculum development and providing quality education.

Ms. Chawdhury:
Thanks for reading my article and I appreciate your comments on it. Yes, Bangladesh education really is at risk and urgently it needs to reform to produce good, responsible, and skilled citizens to survive in the 21st century. Other wise, the country will suffer lots today and tomorrow.

I am glad that many people have been sharing and posting their thoughts and comments on my article that written on recent reform Education Policy 2009. Great!
I am sure the government and all leaders will read this comments. But I urge strongly that education should be secular and modern. In promoting good/moral citizens the government can include the World Religion(Islam, Hindu, Christian, Buddhist …) class for public(government) and private schools for each class as other classes. It is not necessary to teach ONLY Islam or Christian religion. If children learn about all religions from the early age then they can get better understanding on other religions they live with… Of course, every citizen has his/her own belief/faith. The children can learn individual’s religion education from home and their own religious institutions. I am sure those who believe in One World on we live on, human dignity, respect and tolerate others, then I trust people will agree with my ideas. God bless Bangladesh.

The education policy 2009 that published is a unbalance with all the sector of education like general education, madrashah education, Vocational education system. Every sector of education have a unique aim. general education system will led a student to be generalize person besides madrashah education system will led a student to be a person of huge knowledge in religion and finally vocation education system will led a student to fulfill their aim if the education policy deduce accordingly. otherwise if a certain subject is emphasis on all the sector as a mandatory subject then no aim will implemented for individual sector. the proposal of education policy 2009 for madrashah education system will not fulfill their aim, so it is needed to be amendment. the aim of education policy 2009 for making a student that published will not able to implement because sir jon stanly hall said ” if teach your children 3r reading, writing, arithmetics then leave 4th r religion then you will get another 5th r that is ruskelity. so to make rational nation education policy should verily emphasis on religious education system and emphasis religious subject like Quran,hadith, fiqah should be major subject.
