English medium schools


Recently there has been lot protests against unreasonable tuition and other fees charged by English medium schools. In this connection I would like to point out that two of the so-called high standard schools namely Scholastica and BIT were allotted huge land in Uttara by RAJUK at a very nominal price. The rationale of such generosity by RAJUK can be questioned when schools for poor and middle class are deplorably short. These two schools are serving the richest people and making money receiving land at throw away police. Civil society and their keepers should now rouse demand to get answer to the action of RAJUK and force there schools to pay proper price for the land so that the money so obtained may be used to provide educational facilities for the poor and the middle class.
