Comitted to PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO KNOW Vol. 4 Num 93 Thu. August 28, 2003       Letters to Editor A request to the Education Minister A Afroz, Dhaka I would like to draw attention to the fact that the college students (HSC) of the English medium are suffering from the lack of English books. The HSC syllabus is vast and they need to translate all the subjects from Bengali to English and that is a very difficult task. The terms of Physics, Chemistry and Biology are in Bengali and they are bound to read the Bengali books. Where there are several Bengali books for each subject, there is not a single book in English on these subjects. It has been five years since the system (HSC in English medium) has started, but it is a matter of great regret that no step has been taken to publish English books. As a result these students are lagging behind in the competition. The HSC exam is a very important one So I request the education minister to intervene in the matter and take measures to help the students.
