BRAHMANBARIA, Oct 20: Unauthorised schools have sprouted unchecked in Brahmanbaria district town. Most of these schools, set up in rental houses in the town, are doing brisk business without ensuring quality education. Local administration knows about this, but is not taking any steps in this regard.
Guardians alleged incompetent teachers are imparting sub-standard education to students, and most of the schools lack proper accommodation, adequate furniture, waiting rooms for guardians, playground and sports materials, etc.
They expressed deep concern at the poor standard of education at the schools in spite of changing 10-12 times more money than those of government schools.
Khalilur Rahman, Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) in education and development said, "We know that they have no valid permission except one. In August, we wrote letter to the ministry for taking action against them".
According to the sources, there are one boys and two girls government high schools and three government primary schools in the town. So, school business has become a racket in the area. More than twenty-five schools have been set up in the town area. Several unauthorised schools have also sprung up in rural areas.
Sources said, monthly tuition fee of government school is Tk 5 to Tk 15 but private schools are taking Tk 6000 to Tk 15000 per month.
