“A TEACHER OF A STATE GOVERNMENT SCHOOL OF BANGABHOOMI: 'On 
5th September, every year, students do celebrate the TEACHERS DAY, but not 
with that much enthusiasm. Rather to confirm their presence in school 
on TEACHERS DAY, we have to arrange sweets and snacks packets 
for them. Students don't give too much respect to teachers nowadays. 
Even a student don't ask a Maths teacher about 
how to solve a Mathematical problem, but, they ask whether Bangabhoomi 
Government has given some money in their Savings Account or not. Even their 
parents start yelling at us if their child don't get any money in their Savings Account. 
Sometimes, we become confused whether we are teachers or NGO workers. 
In our times, only scholarship system was there and to get that scholarship money, 
a student has to be a brilliant one in academics. In the name of money, 
vote bank and politics, maybe, the brand image of the quality education of 
Bangabhoomi is starting to lose its brand value both in national and 
international educational arena.' 

A TEACHER OF A REPUTED PRIVATE SCHOOL OF BANGABHOOMI: 'The scenario 
is just the opposite in any private school. Here, students collect funds 
among themselves to organize a feast for the teachers. I doubt how many 
Government school students have heard the name of 
Shri Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Nowadays, if any teacher of any 
State Government school is not getting that 
much respect from students, then for that, indirectly, Bangabhoomi Government's 
administration is responsible. Recruitment of new teachers is not taking place 
every year to reduce the deficit of the number of teachers created due to retirements 
every year. As a result, the number of students per teacher is increasing to 
deteriorate the study environment of any classroom. Moreover, all these 
Mid-day meal  and other government schemes really eat up the quality time 
that could have been spent for teaching the students. All these money 
schemes are diverting the minds of students towards Bank Passbooks. 
They love their Bank Passbooks, not the School Textbooks. The next generation 
students after 15 to 20 years down the line may not get good teachers at all 
as the academic quality is deteriorating due to abolition of 'Pass-Fail' system 
by taking exams. Anyway, enjoy a very 
HAPPY TEACHERS DAY on 5th September 2017.'” - Arindam Sain
