Govt issues guidelines on creative question papers

Staff Correspondent
The government yesterday Issued guidelines to be followed while preparing creative question papers at secondary level.
In a gazette notification, the education ministry asked the teachers not to include names of politically, religiously and socially renowned people in the stem of the question if their names were not mentioned in the textbooks.
It also asked all the headmasters of secondary schools to follow the new directives while preparing creative question papers.
The headmasters will personally be responsible if any question is formulated against the gazette notification and departmental action will be taken against the headmasters and other concerned, it read.
The decision of issuing the directives came after some incidents of undermining dignity of some renowned politicians were marked in the question papers by some secondary schools and madrasas.
"An embarrassing situation was created after names of some policies were used in the stems of questions of creative method in the final exams in many secondary schools which drew adverse reaction from the people," said a government handout.
The notification said no question or stem
would be formulated that would represent the country's sovereignty, government, any community, indigenous and region negatively.
"No stem or question would be formulated which defame religion, cast, group, language, culture and national ceremony of Bangladesh," it said, adding, "No stem or question would be formulated that undermines state or nation."
The notification asked to refrain from formulating any stem or question using issues that are anti-constitutional or anti-state.
It also asked not to formulate any stem or question defaming religion, pilgrimage, religious structure and historic places.
"Any discourteous or objectionable picture will not be used as stems," it said adding any issues disapproved or unacceptable by the government or society like early marriage and dowry cannot be used in positive sense.
The notification cautioned the teachers saying they have to be more careful about using the names of religious personalities or politicians or their activities in question papers so that no question paper contains any elements that might defame those personalities.
The government introduced the much-talked-about 'creative question method' for all students from the next SSC examinations in 2010 by phases aiming at stopping students from being dependent on memorisation.
