Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid urged teachers to play a ‘pro-active role’ in supplementing the government efforts to root out terrorism from the society.
“Teachers must inquire into movement and attitudes of their students to avoid their involvement with evil forces,” he said this on Saturday while speaking at a view exchange meeting on “Congenial atmosphere for Education and terrorism-free campus” in the auditorium of BM College in Barisal.
Lawmakers Advocate Talukder Md Yunus and Zebunnesa Afroz, Education Secretary Md Sohrab Hossain, Vice-Chancellor of Barisal University Dr SM Imamul Haque and heads of different educational institutions addressed the meeting with Chairman of Barisal Education Board Md Ziaul Haque in the chair.
Heads of nearly 1,400 schools, colleges and madrasas of Barisal division attended the meeting.
Nahid also urged parents to increase watch movements and attitudes of offspring to avoid their involvement in destructive activities.
“Only enforcement of law cannot combat terrorism and militancy. Social movement is a must to eliminate terrorism and militancy,” he added. Nahid asked the authorities concerned including teachers to inquire into unauthorized absence of students for more than 10 days at a stretch.
He said an evil force is launching a conspiracy to misguide students through misinterpreting Islam to gain their ill-motive. “Militants and terrorists are enemy of Islam. They are harming Islam through carrying out their destructive activities,” he added.
He urged all including teachers and parents to resist the anti-state conspirators, who are using religion to achieve their personal gain.
Against the backdrop of recent terrorist attacks on the Holey Artisan Bakery and near the Sholakia Eid Jamaat ground in Kishoreganj, the education ministry issued a notice concerning unauthorized absence of students from the educational institutions on July 10.
According to the notice, educational institutions will identify the students who are found absent for more than 10 days without proper reason and school authorities must inform in writing to Upazila Education Officer of suspicious absence of students. Educational institutions under metropolitan cities have to inform the district education officer, it added.
