Speaking of education system we should re think how we test our students. Current testing system only tests the memorization capability of our students. Nothing more. Which is why Bengali Medium students in US are not doing well. Need to teach science and math in English. Yes yes I know 52 n all. But teaching science and math in English does not take away from that. The questions should be testing if a student understood the subject matter not to see if he or she memorized the whole book.

Madrasah's should also be regulated. They literally don't teach any basic skills let alone maths and science.

Forced marriages.Too many horror stories of lovers getting separated because one(mostly the girl) of them was forcibly married off by parents. The whole tradition of arrange marriage. It is discriminatory, demeaning and invasive and a lot of the times bride and groom don't have any say in their marriage. Teaching every children(both boys and girls) about bad touch and good touch.Teaching them proper name of private parts. Awareness about mental health.People abandon their mentally ill family members in the streets.Torture them and beat them because they think the patient is possessed by djinn.They can do all of the above but cannot bother to admit the ill in psychiatric hospital or consult a doctor because *shomman rokkha korte hobe* The mentality of family is everything. Family can be abusive.Peolple literally kill their relatives over a piece of land,children get molested and raped by family members,spouses get beat, parents abuse their child.But our society discourages the victims to get help because you should always forgive your family and protect their image.

Let's start with parents comparing their own child and cousins, who's better at study. I think that alone solves 50% of the issue. Rest 50% is created by the high standards parents set. Oh amar chele engineer hobe amar meye doctor hobe. Areh bhai orey jigesh koro o ki hote chai rather than forcing something on that poor soul. WORK ON PARENTING SKILLS NOT COMMANDING. I'm one of the victim of this issue. I've suffered way lot. I can assure if this is solved we will face less mental pressure. Plus don't wanna talk about *manush ki bolbe*


renegade_loner

The child to child comparison thing is a completely asian phenomenon. Forget about us even koreans and chinese haven't eradicated that

People think sex education teaches how to have sex because of the name, maybe if we rephrase it and make people understand sex education teaches about consent, not to touch people without permission, a Muslim majority country shouldn't have problem with this lesson.


temporarysfw1

>consent, not to touch people without permission Do you think people don’t know these things? Even those rapists knows that it’s not okay to touch someone without permission, most of them even believe it's haram to have sex with someone you aren’t married to, they don’t give a f about these rules when they decide to commit those crimes. Sex education should be renamed as Reproductive Education, Teach people/married couple to have safe consensual sex, teach them about their body. Islamic preachers can help reduce martial rape if there’s something in Shariah about consent between married couples, if there's none then by making up something like that.


BadInfluenceAF

> Do you think people don’t know these things? Good point. Some do. But most rapists don’t believe in consequences. For example, take a look at the chattro league rapists. They don’t believe in consequences, and most of them (if not all. I haven’t followed the news for a long while) get away with it. Along with sex ed, people need to learn about right vs wrong, and the consequences. Moreover, BD needs to strictly enforce consequences for these (and all) crimes. With the current situation/structure of Bangladesh, a lot of changes need to be made for one single effect.

Yeah, you are right.


bengal_warlord

Nazis were also very patriotic. Rather teaching or creating more "fake patriots" who talks about patriotism and "chetona" to acquire special treatment, we should focus on skill based education system. We should follow education system of Japan.


[deleted]

You do know how nationalists Japanese are? Do you know that their education system hides all of their misdeeds during the second world war? Anyway, you are right. I want Bangladesh to be nationalist and patriotic like Japan.


XMehrooz

Highly agreed!

If Bangladesh was Secular half of its problem would be gone IMHO. Look at any social issue mostly it's tied to a religion or culture


Siam_ashiq

Religion is a big drawback for this country..!!

Need to impose a fine by law if caught throwing trash on the streets... My building's 5th floor varatiya just throws out her polybag full of trash out her window onto the main road and it's infuriating!!!

First and foremost, Entrepreneurship. Some policy decisions to actually provide a free market that’s east to access. Morality doesn’t work on an empty stomach. We need economic progress and all else will eventually fix itself. Even if it doesn’t, it’s better to be unempowered with air conditioning and access to good entertainment than to be empowered in a society where most have neither.


renegade_loner

They should teach history before 1971. Legit everything is about 71' Teach about the Bengal Presidency and the Paala Kingdom and everything before that


[deleted]

I agree!


naunconformist

islam. need to outlaw it asap


Jill_Sandwich98

Agreed


[deleted]

you said social problem. So, it obviously should be our moral values. We as a nation have the worst moral values. highly educated people make worst kind decisions for little personal benefits.


omar5g

Taking a joke. Almost everyone here takes things too seriously. Sarcasm does not exist here


shadow_irradiant

Dude use the /s liberally, since the ‘liberals’ here are quite conservative with sarcasm. The real LPT is always in the comments. Thank me later xoxo


NightWolf36H

The education system is patriotic enough. I have to learn more about liberation war more than every subject combined. Ans why is sex Ed even so important. Shut up. Stop complaining.


[deleted]

Live in dark ages.


No_Alternative314

You guys are having sex?


[deleted]

Sex education will solve the rape crisis.


shadow_irradiant

Education and application are clean different things. Look closely at the educated people of society and tell me you deny it.


Intiajul_alam

What is the rape rate of countries where sex education is taught like USA? and like Saudi Arabia where punishment is pretty strict ?


[deleted]

In Saudi Arabia, victims go to jail if they don't have four male witnesses of the rape. Do you want that in Bangladesh too?


NeverG1veUp1000

Well, how do WE know that a victim is speaking the truth? Whenever we hear about rape allegations we always think that the men are on the wrong. This destroyed the reputation for the man’s family, as well as his social reputation in general. If he is convicted but not found guilty do you even understand the amount of years he has to waste behind bars just because if a false allegation? Besides, most families are dependent on the men. So if you think about it, the 4 witness rule isn’t bad.


[deleted]

Rapists usually don't rape in front of four people.


12yearoldsimulator

LMFAOOO. I find it fucking hilarious how we have to literally spell it out at this point. The absolute cognitive dissonance due to religious bias is astonishing.


Intiajul_alam

Vy ami onno desher law anar kotha bolinai. Ami chai amader ja ase setai implement hok properly.


[deleted]

only punishment will solve rape crisis


[deleted]

No, actually. Sex education doesn't teach you how to have sex. It teaches you consent, protection etc. important things. Punishment doesn't stop rape. Educating people about sexual ethics does.


Shas9

It's true that there's a lack of sex-ed in Bangladesh, even talk about these topics is frowned upon.


XMehrooz

Punishment *would* stop rape. But the problem is that, this law, if applied, wouldn't exist for the upper class of people or people with connections, because you know how it is in this country...


[deleted]

and my 5th grade teacher thought me how to do math but i failed anyway


Ok_Seat6533

Proper religious concepts should be taught to the public


SamihaAfroz

Not educating both Girls and boys properly is a major problem in Bangladesh i belive. They're Reading and writing but inside without values and norms!!! This is high time we should consider the term proper education.....
