GOING through the 'Facebook', this writer came across the following pragmatic and fascinating example of the usual prospects for the various calibres of students and their future prospects that gave interesting examples of 'return on investment' of students based on their performance as students.
The best and the most meritorious students, usually opt for graduation studies in profession as doctors and engineers or for further studies and research ending in PhD. They opt for careers as doctors and engineers or as university teachers.
The next ranking, second best student group, may opt for MBA and end up in private sector corporate management or the 'civil services'; who usually control the above group of most meritorious students.
The third group of ordinary students who mange to graduate and opt for other professions including politics. Lastly, we have the 'failures', who leave their education and drop out.
Small wonder therefore that bribery, corruption and political violence are more or less the 'order of the day' in our sphere of political opposition. That is how in our style of democracy violence is usually the 'modus-operandi' for political opposition while resorting to 'hartals' and other violence-related activities. More often than not, many of the failures from the 'education stream' are the backbone of most political activities irrespective of the basic ideas that underline the political parties in Bangladesh.
