Bangla Vs. English

This refers to the recent online hue and cry over the English medium vs. Bangla medium education debate. I do not think English medium schools offer superior education. I think all education systems in our capitalistic world are fundamentally flawed. Education should be about enlightenment, it should focus on helping us know ourselves, have better relationships, and navigate more efficiently through life, instead of focusing on grades. 

Let us not get into which medium is better. Let us work together to build a society where no one is superficially judged for their educational background due to factors beyond their control.
