Education, Economics and Politics
Repeated episodes of violence and instability make the consequences of this system evident. The pattern, from Bishwajit Das to Abrar Fahad and beyond, illustrates how deeply entrenched the problem has become. When political identity becomes a determinant of safety and access within educational institutions, the core purpose of universities is fundamentally compromised.
Education and Global Context
True inclusion requires listening carefully to the everyday experiences of diverse communities. It requires recognising that accessibility is not only visible in ramps or elevators but also embedded in ordinary spaces and routines that shape students’ daily lives.
Education, Quality and Development
Dhaka University played a major role in building the nation, yet it has struggled to remain a strong modern university. Instead of regularly producing independent thinkers, dedicated scholars, and principled leaders, it is often seen as encouraging bureaucratic ambition, political loyalty, and patronage.
Education, Policy and Practice
Keeping grades confidential allows students to focus on understanding their own strengths and weaknesses as personal information rather than as public knowledge, protecting them from criticism and social pressure from friends, family, and society.
Education, Pedagogy and Assessment
Because education systems are not just logistical structures; they are social ecosystems. When a child in Dhaka logs into a virtual classroom while another in Kurigram cannot even connect, we are not simply witnessing a technological gap, we are reinforcing inequality.
