to unfair means in marks allocation, in some cases, long before the recruitment
process and even by making the questions available before academic
examinations and written tests for the recruitment, if such a provision exists. All
this seems to have degraded the academic integrity of education, so far regarded
as sacred in society. The University of Dhaka and the University Grants
Commission, however, sought to say that they could take the next course of
action, if needed, if Transparency International, Bangladesh could come up with
the proof of corruption and political influence. But the research findings, even if
viewed as allegations, should be enough for the universities, the University
Grants Commission and the education ministry to explain the issues and run
credible investigations.
Primary and secondary education has already come to be criticised in view of
the results of public examinations vis--vis the poor performance of the students
in their graduation into the next level. Now if such failures engulf the tertiary
education in public universities, there remains nothing for the nation to fall
back on in its efforts to move upwards. All the authorities concerned, in such a
situation, must take up the issues seriously, and earnestly, to set the wrongs
right. There must be a well-framed policy on the recruitment and promotion of
teachers in universities. Others in or outside the process must also lay their
political hands off the process to arrest the decline.
