Re: [chottala.com] Professor M. Anwar Hossain - A bright star in our sky !

After reading the statement delivered at the court by The Learned PhD Teacher Mr. Anwar Hossain of Dhaka University it seems that the administration of Dhaka University is totally inactive.
It is also proved by his statement that there is no good academic atmosphere in the University.
Where there is no good active disciplined administration & from where the people are getting degree certificates after coming in abroad their certificates are not honored by the University in abroad & they are treated as below standard academic qualified persons in comparison with the qualified persons from the university in abroad.
The people graduated from the University of Bangladesh after coming in abroad are doing odd jobs such as taxi driving hotel boy city council cleaning works until & unless they get proper & standard academic education from the education centre in abroad. The learned PhD Teachers of the University in Bangladesh should be shameful for providing less quality teaching education to the students.
After getting nonsense & quality less education from the University of Bangladesh they are doing their  jobs efficiently nonsense or moral less in Bangladesh works of looting public money as service holders & as public representative works of  car breaking burning public property trouble making mill industry business centre closing disaster creating as people's dear politicians..
As a result money of Bangladesh is devaluing which is creating money inflation & is increasing price hiking of every thing.
How can the learned teachers of Dhaka University claim that they are very good teachers & Dhaka University is the top most education centre & the heart of the country??
Are not the very learned Teachers in Dhaka University very inefficient in doing good teaching jobs & providing less quality educated persons?? 
Have not made the University Campus a quarrelling centre by creating nonsense education less & bad atmosphere these shameless & quality less teachers in doing nonsense quality less politics at the banner of lal nil subuj sada????
How can they claim that they are providing correct update education to the students in due time taking regular classes giving quality educated lessons to the students????
After getting education providing by the less quality educated University Teachers no body can make a single car in the country or can not do any repairing works.
How shameless the matter is that the teachers have inspired the students to break the cars which are being imported from India or Japan??
Are the University Teachers of Dhaka University taking Commission from the Car making Company of India or Japan?
So that after broken the cars new cars can be imported from Japan or India.
 
The moral duty of the teachers are providing correct update quality education to the students
1)       To create honest efficient teachers for providing quality education to the students &
2)    To create honest wise political leaders to lead the country.
3)       To create honest creative law makers for making rules & laws
4)       To create foresighted wise skilled planers for planning.
5)       To create good efficient administrators to rule the administration
6)       To create perfect executors to execute the plan
7)    To create creative builders to build the country for saving people. 
For not creating by doing nonsense politics in using the power of 1973 for
      1)    Not creating of suffering the students in season jots
2)    Not taking regularly classes & examination in time
3)      Not taking examination in due time & not giving result in time
4)   Not honoring by the University in abroad the certificates of the students who are getting degree/graduation of Bangladesh University.
5)  Not treating as below standard educated persons in comparison with foreign University Graduates  
 
Country now needs very strong Administrator for doing reformation works in education section for creating learned creative persons
1)       To create dedicated minded honest efficient quality teachers for providing quality education to the students to make them quality educated people for doing works lawfully as politicians as army as police & as judicial persons.
2)       To create honest creative law makers for making rules & laws
3)       To create foresighted wise skilled planers for planning.
4)       To create good efficient administrators to rule administration
5)       To create perfect executors & builders to execute the plan & to build the country for saving the people. 
 
An enquire & tribunal board is most essentially required to form for investigating to do trial against all persons/teachers in all University & Education Section
1)       Why are suffering the students in season jots?
2)       Why are not taken regular classes?
3)       Why are not taken examination in due time & not given result in time?
4)       Why are not honored by the University in abroad the certificates of the students who are getting after obtained degree/graduated of Bangladesh University
5)        Why are treated they as below standard educated persons in comparison with foreign University Graduates??  
After doing trial of all irresponsible & convicted teachers must be turned out from the teaching section from all educational institutions & bad education system which does not create good active creative responsible persons must be banned.
The creative active honest learned teachers must be inspired for doing education researches to create update education resources & they should be awarded.
New honest active learned teachers must be appointed & provided them inspired them to be learned wise foresighted teachers.
Nation wide quality education system must be introduced for providing to nation wide all people quality education for creating quality people & for making them skilled creative in their respective working fields such as politicians should be quality politicians. Doctor must be quality doctors. Engineers should be engineers. The Teachers must have update knowledge teaching quality.
The teachers should try to know & should try to understand what faults they have done.  
They need to try to understand that in past last 37 years in Bangladesh education section could not be able to provide correct update teaching lessons to the students in time to make them good leaders good politician good law makers & good administrators to lead the country.
 Now some University Teachers are convicted & acquitted as like as criminal persons. Being University Teachers they are doing movement works without showing respect to the lawful court verdict as like as labor leaders. They have no wise knowledge have no lawful good idea to face the problems lawfully. 
It is a very shameful matter to the whole nation.
They do not understand what crime they have done by not taking regular classes by not providing to the students update correct education lessons by not taking examinations in time & by not giving result in due time & they have created season jots, they have given them trouble by killing the money misusing the energy & valuable time of the poor parent hopes & of the poor students who have admitted in the university for getting education.
For establishing Justice of law & for establishing Lawful Administration for establishing Humanity & Human Right it is the most essential duty of the Judicial Department to take legal action according to the complain submitted by any citizen of the country to the court for seeking lawful verdict against any person whatever he/she may be (whether big leader or university teacher).
They are the student's life time killer money killer of the poor students & their parents.
They do not try to understand what' their faults & they do not try to rectify their faults as wise teachers. 
The teachers are the paid service holders for doing the teaching works to make the students as competent citizens by providing them update correct education. They are getting salary for the teaching works.
So it is very essential duty for the nation to look whether the teachers are doing their duty teaching WORKS correctly & honestly by taking the classes in time by giving the students correct update knowledge lessons & by taking the examination in time & by giving the result in due time 
OR  
they are doing party politics not taking classes not taking examination not giving result in due time  & only  they are doing free thought exercises thinking themselves free thought valued persons like as Royal Bengal Tigers.
For establishing fair & neutral Govt Administrations, for establishing fair & neutral Judicial Department it needs to appoint the people who are not doing party politics in their student life & not doing politics before joining in the service to Govt Administrations or Judicial Department. 
So the rules & laws should be made for the students that the students who want to do party politics in their student life they may do party politics but they will not get job in any Govt Administration or Judicial Department after finishing their study.
