Most college teachers prefer coaching: Nahid

Star Online Report

Most of the college teachers prefer coaching rather than taking regular classes at institutions, Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid said today.
“Students and teachers are not seen at many colleges after 11:00am, coaching is going on but no classes,” the education minister said at a programme in Dhaka this morning.
College teachers who are involved in coaching think that if they teach properly at classes, students would not come to coaching centres, Nahid said.

Nahid was addressing the programme on Dissemination Workshop on Learning Assessment of Secondary Institution, 2015, organised by Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE) at Dhaka Residential Model College.  
DSHE Director General SM Wahiduzzaman questioned the inspection conducted by grass-roots level education officials as the pass rate of HSC is zero at many colleges.
