Poor services outcome of corruption in bureaucracy
Rajshahi Education Board staffs tell meet
Rajshahi Education Board (REB) officials at a view exchange meeting yesterday attributed their failures and poor services to the outcome of moral degradation and widespread corruption at bureaucratic level in the country.
As educationists, the officials said, they want to deliver the best services, but they are helpless due to some 'legalised corruption' by which inefficient officials were chosen to run the board.
Concerned Citizens' Committee (CCC), an organisation run by Transparency International, Bangladesh (TIB), organised the meeting on 'Developing quality of services at the board'.
CCC member and Rajshahi University prof Chowdhury Sarwar Jahan moderated the meeting with REB Chairman Dr Enamul Haque in the chair.
REB Secretary Prof Shafik Uddin, REB Inspectors Abul Kalam Azad, Dr Mustafijur Rahman, Employees' Union President Manjurur Rahman Khan, TIB Programme Officer Rafikul Islam and CCC members Rajiuddin Ahmed, Dr Sabrina Naj and Kamarullah Sarker spoke at the programme.
The REB officials said they were held hostage in the corruption web as they themselves became victimised when they are in need of services from the board.
They said the ongoing decentralisation process is at stake at REB as its activities of registration, examination and results are still being controlled centrally for lone computer centre in the capital.
They, however, said the board has increased quality services manifold with the help of CCC.
A recent CCC survey found that the REB services were improved.
The surveyed revealed that people recommended for close monitoring on REB activities, increasing staffs, maintaining transparency in collection of fees and proper supervision.
