At a press conference in the city, they also demanded exemplary punishment to persons involved in wasting crores of taka only for planning a flawed education system for SSC students.

"We strongly demanded permanent cancellation of uni-track education system as the education minister said the system, postponed for one year, will be introduced in 2007 removing all barriers," said Shikkha Andolon President Ajoy Roy.

It is now clear to the countrymen that the proposed education system will not allow the students to think freely pushing them to extremism and consumerism, he added.

"We want a real uni-track education system which will be universal, indiscriminate, science-based and secular," said Ajoy.

He called upon all sections of people to make December 26 rally at the Central Shaheed Minar demanding permanent cancellation of the proposed uni-track education system a success.

Shikkha Andolon Mancha leaders Ashraf Uddin Akash, Prof Shahidul Islam, Engineer Harunur Rashid and Saifur Rahman Tapan were present at the press conference.
