Quality primary education at Moheshkhali

Quality Primary education at Moheshkhali

Part-X111

Is quality primary education possible at Moheshkhali Upazila, also throughout Bangladesh? Yes, it is a must. There is no substitute of doing that. Country like Bangladesh has to achieve the goal of quality education as it has many limitations of resources. We have to develop our country building up competent human resources. Though our country is quite important to the outside world, as it is situated in a strategically and geographically vital region, we have to go ahead with education and high technological skills. Bangladesh is committed to implement all the international agreements signed with UNO member states about education, democracy, human rights and so on. The government has been trying to keep pace along with other countries implementing these pledges including quality education. At present, the Primary and Mass Education Ministry has taken a number of steps and programs throughout the country. Professional Development of teachers working at primary schools and ensuring quality education for all our children are the main objectives of the primary education sector. Various types of training for the teachers from upazila level to national levels have been hosting now. All the Officers and teachers are very busy now achieving the targeted goals and receiving trainings. Now, I have been conducting a training course named TSN or Lesson Study at Moheshkhali URC. Twenty five head teachers have been participating in the course. Today, I conducted an open session with them on how the the training courses would impact and benefited the teaching-learning activities of primary schools. Here, I would like to give a pen-picture of their views and opinions.

1. The new concepts like; Academic Supervision, Lesson Study, Competency based training, Subject based training and so on are very important for ensuring quality education.
2. If they could implement the sum and substances of these training courses at school levels and all the children would be benefited much.
3. Some long prevailing problems at Moheshkhali upazila, like teachers shortage, structural crisis, furniture shortage should be made up soon to implement the spirits of these training courses.
4. Mind sets of the working teachers must be changed and professionalism among the teachers should be developed.
5. All the teachers should have strong professional commitment and love for the country and the nation.
6. They say that these qualities of teachers would not come in them fortnightly, but gradually.
7. The authority should have to continue these programs for  a certain period of  time and that might be at least for 10 years.

Conclusion: In fine, We can see the observations of the teachers and ca go ahead with them seriously and seriously. It is expected that we will over come someday.
