Tragic Educational Ebb in Chittagong’s Schools

December 27, 2023 — The educational system of Chittagong’s schools has seen a concerning downturn in recent years. This collapse is beset by several problems. Inadequate infrastructure still exists in many schools, making it difficult to create productive learning environments. The issue is made worse by a lack of qualified teachers, which lowers the standard of instruction.

One issue that is frequently ignored is the predicament of Chittagong’s teachers. Smaller schools are ignored in favor of ones whose teachers are paid between 10,000 and 12,000 taka a month, while students pay outrageous tuition costs of 15,000 to 30,000 taka a month. In addition, there are a lot more students compared to teachers in these schools. They hire teachers on the basis of talent, which is astonishing, but they also feed a vicious circle. [1]

The only options appear to be leaving Chittagong or making a compromise with poor pay. The situation is still grave, but not much is being done about it. When it comes to university instructors in particular, the way that gifted students are treated needs to be addressed. Speaking to parents, your children’s welfare and a high-quality education are at risk if there isn’t a supportive atmosphere for the teachers.

There are a plethora of educational establishments in Chittagong, including schools, colleges, and universities. Despite their existence, these institutions do not demonstrate a strong dedication to teaching. Chittagong is a singular combination of rural landscapes and centers of education, all under the direction of powerful individuals with significant commercial stakes.

Plus, the curriculum does not emphasize the critical skill sets required for the changing job market, failing to adjust to modern expectations. The system’s credibility is further compromised by widespread corruption, which has an impact on equal access to education.

Since all woes in this world are crafted, not fated, the results are severe since the students’ future opportunities are at risk due to the worsening standards. In order to preserve and recover the educational system and guarantee a better future for the country’s little ones, immediate changes and investments are necessary.
