Wahid Uddin Mahmud, Education Consultant, Economist, gave a statement regarding the protest of students of seven colleges in Dhaka.
Mahmudul Hasan, the ministry’s senior information officer, gave this information in a press release on Wednesday (October 30).
In a statement, the education consultant said that since the establishment of the interim government, students of different educational institutions and different teachers’ organizations have been fighting different demands. The government is trying its best to restore order and normalcy in the education sector which is in a state of complete chaos. In all these claims, there are claims that are fair and unfair and in some cases conflicting. Upholding an anti-discrimination claim may lead to discrimination in other areas. Any major reform demand in the education sector has far-reaching implications and it is difficult to provide immediate solutions, and the activists behind all the demands see their demands as the highest priority and the demands can be resolved immediately by protest in the streets. On the one hand, because the road blockade is causing enormous suffering to the public, the government has only the opportunity to properly assess the demands.
He also said in the statement that the government has formed a committee with relevant experts to look into the demands of students from seven colleges affiliated to Dhaka University which will prepare a report within seven weeks. The problem started a few years ago with an ill-advised decision to withdraw seven Dhaka colleges from the National University and incorporate them into the University of Dhaka. As a result, problems have arisen on both sides of Dhaka University and Seven Colleges. Because of which the students of those seven colleges had to endure various difficulties and discrimination. The issues are complex and at least some time is needed to consider a fair solution. Meanwhile, college students are protesting in the streets demanding that their institution become a university. Discussions were held several times with student representatives. As a lifelong teacher, I personally sympathize with the demands of students’ rights in the country’s troubled education system. But it must be remembered that there is no precedent anywhere to make an immediate decision to establish a new university through street blockades, agitations and ultimatums.
In such a situation, he asked the students to be patient and return to their respective educational institutions without creating public trouble on the streets.
