In Ishwardi, students protested against extra money for filling the form in JSC examination

Ishwardi representative Students of the school vandalized a car on the road after protesting against the head teacher of Ishwardi Alhaj High School on Monday against bribery, corruption, nepotism and extra money for filling the JSC examination form.

The students said that the head teacher of the school is collecting 800 taka instead of 400 taka for filling the JSC exam form. Instead of collecting extra money from the students, the students requested to reduce it to Rs 400 as before. The headmaster refused to accept it. At this time, the students unitedly came down to the streets to raise slogans against the headmaster's excessive payment. They vandalized cars on Ishwardi-Pakshi IK road and cut down trees lining schools along the road.

A 10th class student on the condition of anonymity said that the present headmaster survived by the force of the khuti despite repeated corruption. When contacted on the mobile phone of head teacher Mozammel Haque, his mobile phone was found switched off. In this regard, Upazila Secondary Education Officer Siddiqur Rahman said that according to the rules of the board, the fee of Tk 375 is supposed to be charged for the JSC examination, but he is collecting extra money which is illegal. I have informed the higher authority in this regard.
