New text books

Saturday, 16 January 2010


The Education Minister continues to speak at various forums in respect of new school text book curriculums to be enforced from 2010. I think that text books should contain a chapter for class IX, X, XI and XII indicating morals of human beings in the field of income and expenditures of parents. We are a corrupt nation as determined by Transparency International for years though we are a Muslim majority country while enough warnings have been given in the holy book and Hadith in respect of bribery, corruption, ill habits etc. etc.
Thus, when a boy or girl will learn about the income and expenditures of their parents, many of the sons or daughters would not like the misdeeds of their parents, I believe. It is puzzling to me to learn from the media that the present government is perplexed regarding the 1200 crore Taka collected from Bangladeshi people during the former caretaker government though the money was ill gotten or so. Under the above facts let the authority do ponder over honestly in the context of JS election pledge of corruption control or so let something happens in reality in a corruption champion country!
