Thursday, 3 June 2010
RAJSHAHI, Jun 2 (BSS): A large number of students of Rajshahi University here Wednesday staged a demonstration to protest the introduction of night course in seven departments of the university.
The students under the banner of Progressive Students Alliance (PSA) comprising four progressive student organisations -- Bangladesh Chhatra Union, Chhatra Front, Chhatra Federation and Chhatra Moitree -- brought out a protest rally on the campus.
Speaking on the occasion, the protesting students said seven departments- Mass Communication and Journalism, Economics, Public Administration, Social Work, Sociology, Information Science and Library Management and Political Science- have decided to conduct the two-year night course from the current year in exchange of Tk 50,000 per student.
They alleged that the new course would affect the normal day-course system badly as the teachers are going to gain financially after conducting the additional courses bypassing their primary responsibilities, they added.
