Is education immaterial?
Yamin Zakaria, West Monipuri Para, Mirpur, Dhaka
For every job and profession including that of a cleaner/gardener etc academic qualification bar is there. But in this country alone to be the Head Of the Government, Minister and a Member of Parliament (Law Maker) educational qualification is no bar. When education is of no significance for such responsible positions, then why do we have all these institutions including the universities? All these should be closed down forthwith. It is incomprehensible that people holding important positions do not have academic qualification. How come? No wonder the nation is in such a mess today. Education makes a man perfect and no one can deny the role of education in our life. There may also be an exception once in a while when education becomes meaningless. The example is in front of the nation. But today's political chaos is also a blessing in disguise for the nation. This has exposed many faces and unknown drawbacks of our politics and governance of the country. Even a petty criminal cannot escape the rule of law. How come for violating the constitution without any consensus there is no accountability? So without reforms in all spheres of the Administration and Judiciary the country will simply be destroyed. Our future generations will be nowhere. Hence I suggest as initial reform one has to have minimum academic qualifications (agreed upon by the parties) for holding an important position.
