Reaction of the Principal of Bhangar college vis-a-vis the ugly incident that took place in his college is really unfortunate and unwarranted.In stead of standing by the aggrieved teachers, particularly the lady teacher who was allegedly hit on her chin by the jug thrown by Arabul Islam , the President governing body of the college who also bullied the teachers in the most uncouth language, the Principal took sides with Arabul.He tried to play down the incident and complained that occurrence was blown out of proportion to cover up the teachers' lapses of irregular attendence at college as complained of by the Presidemt to him. He also alleged that Arabul also complained many teachers come late and go away early from college.The Principal also claimed Arabul didn't throw jug at the lady teacher as alleged.
In all probabilities the Principal took this stance to curry favour with the management or he's some other axe to grind..Interestingly, he reportedly stayed away from college the day after the incident.Perhaps, he's no guts to face the teachers of the college due to his cowardly or self seeking behaviour.
As Principal runs the college as an academic head he's supposed to know which teacher is a habitual absentee or late comer or skip classes.It's his duty to monitor if classes are duly held in his college. He's empowered to take corrective measures, if necessary.It's unbelievable and it also betrays his lack of efficiency too if he has to mull this information from the President, Governing body or some other else.Again,it's a pity Arabul Husain himself has no knowledge of College education as he'd never crossed the threshold of a college( for higher studies,of course).Isn't it an utter shame for our education system that men like Arabul Hussains become even the Preident of a College governing body simply by virtue of their political affiliation?
