’Parties more responsible for campus violence’

President for changes in DU Ordn '73, student union rules
President Shahabuddin Ahmed yesterday suggested that teachers and students should refrain from party politics on the campus and drastic changes be brought in the country’s education system, reports UNB.
Pointing to prevailing an archie" situation in educational institutions, the President also underlined the need for amending university rules and restructuring student unions.
Tn most of our colleges and universities anarchy prevails; terrorism, gunbattle, extortion, ugly party politics are the order of the day." he said inaugurating a national seminar on The problems of university education in Bangladesh and their solutions'.
"Many people think that a handful of student cadres be longing to political parties have held the Aiucational institutions hostage the President told the seminar, organised by the Federation of Bangladesh University Teachers Associations (FBUTAj at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium in the city
He said "Our self seeking, short-sighted political parties
are more responsible than the students for the present situation. These parties are using the students for their nefarious party purposes."
"I nave been saying all the time that if the major political parties arrive at a consensus to keep educational institutions violence-free, then within a few days, student cadres will disappear. terrorism will cease and peaceful academic atmosphere will return."
"Standard of education in Bangladesh has so much deteriorated that degrees or diplomas awarded here are hardly recog nised abroad." the President said. From this it is clear that there is hardly any educational institution in Bangladesh where congenial atmosphere prevails, tie added
Shahabuddin was critical of some university teachers dab bling in politics supporting political parties which, he said is adding fuel to the fire of stu dent politics "
Referring to the Dhaka University Ordinance 1973. he said although the country’s Constitution was drastically amended altering some of its basic struc-
tures. no amendment had been made in the salient features of the DU Ordinance.
"1 think amendment to the Act is necessary in the greater interest of education," the President said suggesting amendment to the rules relating to electoral system in the university senate and student representation in it,
Similarly, he said, regulations for creation of central students' union and similar unions in university halls need amendment. "Under the existing regulation, a student can remain a student or a student leader ail his life."
President Shahabuddin said eligibility of students for being elected to their unions should be limited to only regular stu dents and the term of a union should be fixed for only one year, on the expiry of which the union shall stand dissolved automatically.
If. for some unavoidable circumstances. a new union is not elected, an ad hoc committee should be appointed by the Syndicate from the most meri. torious students of different faculties.
