Entangled in the vicious cycle
When the education system of the country is to blame, one just simply cannot take the anger and the frustrations out on the students. The outburst on the Bangla medium students of the country have created a massive stir all around the social media after a news channel blatantly portrayed the incompetence of the students when it comes to having knowledge about the simplest of matters. The TV channel has got its own share of fault as many think and believe that the news got covered in an improper way.
What is even more of concern is the education system of the country. Each year hundreds and thousands of pupils pass their HSC and SSC examinations with GPA 5.
It is certainly a positive sign for a country when the passing rate and the GPA 5 holder rate continue to thrive. However, it is a rising issue when these students fail to answer the simplest of questions based on nothing more than general knowledge. Many of these students would also fail to get jobs and horribly struggle despite attaining the highest grades. The influx of GPA 5 holders also raises a common question in the mind of general people; is merit truly being considered here when a pupil is awarded with GPA 5? The students are not the one to be blamed here but the education system. The government, intellectuals, academics etc. all parties should pay due attention to this issue.
