Education Policy

News is coming in that a 'remodeled' education policy is afoot. It's not known yet what 'mole hill' will burst forth from the committee meant for that remodeled education policy. But what we understand that remodeling the education policy is not so difficult as our 'experts' often say. What is needed is simple patriotism and pragmatism. They may include -- a. Make primary education upto 8th grade at the end of which a public exam will be held. (Hopefully, it's going to be accepted, as we hear.) b. Make the syllabus uniform for the 3/4 branches ( e,g, English medium, Bangla Medium, Madrasa etc) running at present upto the 8th grade. c. Drop unnecessary humanities subjects for science and science subjects for humanities & commerce students. (God knows from whose fertile brain such ridiculous and wasting idea came forth.) Rather for general idea about civics, economics, geography & history and personal hygiene introduce these subjects from 6th to 8th grade. Besides, drop religion after 8th grade. What is most important is unburden the students of useless & unnecessary subjects which will be of no use in their future life. After all what's the use of knowledge of physics & chemistry for a banker or an accountant? Gentlemen, understand realities. Spare our children of unwholesome and meaningless troubles and us of unnecessary expenditure. Stop making our children gineapigs for capricious experiment on education.
