Anarchy in education!

While move is being made to make Presidency University a center of excellence by recruiting best faculty from across the globe,the education in undergraduate levels are in total doldrums in the state.What's most worrying is foot steps of late sixties or early seventies are getting increasingly louder day by day in the arena of education.Now teachers and non teaching staff as well have been soft target of attack by the students and outsiders as well in academic institutions.Incidences of physical assault on teachers which did scarcely occur even in early seventies now take place almost at regular intervals.Students take on teachers without any compunction, whatsoever.As in seventies students now seem to claim copying as their legitimate right.When invigilators, who are primarily teachers, prevent them from taking unfair means, it's unbelievable they are so brutally roughed up by examinees that some of them even need be admitted to hospital.If these incidents are not stopped immediately dark days of mass copying and turbulence in seventies would soon revisit our educational institutions. The assailants are not always students.Imagine, the president Governing body of a college threw a water jug towards a lady teacher to teach her lesson.Perhaps this muscle flexing and assault on teachers in college compasses all started from the incident that took place at Raigunge College where the College principal was played like a ping pong ball by outsiders in presence of a political leader of that locality.The administration played down the incident as minor one and the assailants were slapped with bailable offence so that they were set free almost immediately after arrest..The incident has, in fact, encouraged those who indulge in violent activities including manhandling of teaching and non teaching personnel in college compasses.So in the wake of Raigunj incident similar occurrence took place in many other colleges too.Now teachers are suffering from fear psychosis.
