(Advertisement) Writing research paper is always one of the hardest tasks, especially to me, as it has a tight deadline and other conditions. Besides, in a research paper, it is mandatory to put a number of references while there are lots of reference styles and I have to know a number of styles. At the time of studying in an Australian college, my supervisor asked me to write a paper as an assignment in which I had to relate people’s educational qualification with their job satisfaction.

‘O’ and ‘A’ Level Exams at Dead of Night

MASUM BILLAH

Peaceful and tranquil social environment is very important for the examinees of any level of education and it is more important and necessary for the young and teenage learners. Unfortunately we have failed to ensure it for our examinees. Still I remember during our honors final examination at Jahangirnagar University all the dining staffs were on strike for regularizing their job. The university authorities hardly bothered our case whether we went to the examination hall with empty stomach or not. The situation of the universities has further deteriorated not only in terms of dinning status but also in many respects. The SSC and HSC examinees of 2013 probably have been the worst sufferers comparing to those of the previous years.  The months of March, April and May are the usual period of secondary and higher secondary examinations in Bangladesh. But ironically this is also the peak time for politicians to resort to movements- peaceful or violent- to realize their demands.  It is for the political unrest that authorities are compelled to constantly change exam dates for SSC and HSC examinations and hold ‘O’ and ‘A’ Level examinations   at dead of night till 3o’clock in the morning. The risk and hazards involved in taking the exams at these peculiar hours hardly need elaboration. In addition to security risks at night, students have to reach home exhausted after each day’s program and have run for another exam on the same day. The compulsion of holding exams as per schedule is that under the British Council an examination is held on the same day all over the world. There lies no scope for alternative dates to take the exam.  If an examination cannot be held in time, students will lose one year from their life.

Education planners and decision makers have cast their eyes only on institutional education across the globe and its range covers from kindergarten to university level. A parallel education stream has developed along with the mainstream which is getting wider day-by-day but it receives scant importance from the decision-makers, researchers and education planners. It has got spread even in developed countries and has recently started receiving importance and drawn the attention of the researchers. Such kind of education stream has seriously affected the main stream system. But it does have some positive aspects such as making scope for the young and aged students ‘mixing together, ensuring teachers’ increased income, many students have got scope to learn some lessons which could not have been learnt–setting in a formal class of an institution.
