Why change frequents?
Before doing anything, we require well revised plans.
Otherwise, we cannot perform the job properly and most often it ends in smoke.
Yes, I’m talking about the frequent change of text books and question patters
of high and higher secondary levels in Bangladesh. Ok, it is often said
that change implies development. But what type of development is it?
Aren’t we trying to draw a picture of a person without a head? This
type of foolish activities may lead the learners to nothingness. To be
particular, between June and July, 2015 the teachers along with students of HSC
got ‘English for Today’ without any guideline for question patter although the
guideline was published on the 10th September, 2015.
Besides, there a new item, critical appreciation of a
story and poem, has been introduced there and this is undoubtedly an excellent
approach for the betterment of the language skills of the learners, but it said
there that this part was made unseen and the allotted marks of it are eight. My
question is: Why has it been made unseen? The item reminds me the common
saying: “Easy to say but difficult to do!” Why don’t we look
around and why aren’t we practical? We all know that to appreciate a literary
composition is not an easy cake. It is really difficult even for teachers, let
alone HSC students. We normally have to study a lot to figure out the meaning
of a seen poem or a short story before entering the class. Are we putting
overload on the learners?
