The news of the arrest of three school teachers, including an examination secretary and headmaster, in Bhurungamari, Kurigram, on charges of leaking out the questions of the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination, has been published with great importance in many media. The administration officials recovered some question papers of the next examination from the above headmaster's room and immediately he and the other two accused teachers were arrested. This is very sad, shameful and embarrassing act. A teacher is the bulwark of the nation and the man-builder but still he commits an act of extreme betrayal by breaking the responsibility entrusted to him. Great has questioned the teaching profession. Because of this, the secretary of the secondary and higher education ministry apparently expressed his helplessness in preventing question leaks in the public examination and said, "If only the exams secretaries do it." The work (distribution of questions) should be done by someone. If he does this, what can we do in the future?" There have been many complaints of question leaks in the past years. The government is also quite embarrassed and worried about the issue. The above incident is very boomerang and naturally the question arises who will chase away the ghosts in mustard or who will protect the fields if the fence starts eating the fields!

We know that education is the backbone of a nation and the craftsman of building that backbone is the entire teaching society. By teaching good education, morals, honesty, devotion, a student will become an ideal human being, this is the expectation of all teachers. But today the teacher has caught the character of a few sections of the society. An ideal teacher can enlighten a society and an unethical characterless teacher can destroy a society. In earlier days, newspapers used to write about the decline of moral character of students, causes and remedies. But today I feel extremely ashamed that I have to write about the degradation of the moral character of teachers. For this reason, I apologize to all ideal teachers first, this is not written for them; this is written for those who are tarnishing and polluting the society and the nation.

Teachers are role models of the society. But that idealistic person covers his face with the mask of ethics and morality and behaves one way during the day and different at night and when it is revealed, it is not enough to say how much he is hated by the students, parents, society and the whole country. When a teacher is accused of leaking out question papers, or when an objectionable phone conversation or video with a student of his or another institution is spread to everyone, then the teacher's actions not only tarnish the educational institution, but it pollutes the entire teaching community.

Teachers have taught us many times in our childhood, we have written this famous proverb many times in the exam notebook - 'If money is lost, nothing is lost. Health is lost, something is lost. But character is lost, everything is lost. Now it is a sad thing that nowadays students sometimes have to protest about the character of the teachers. Sexual harassment has become a daily routine in various educational institutions. It has become a daily routine for some teachers to leak out unethical questions by tempting the students of their institutions to get more marks. Often in the newspaper, the bad actions of teachers and students are published. On the one hand, the parents of boys and girls are worried about whether their children will be able to return home with honors, on the other hand, the parents of girls who are now studying at college or school level, are discouraged from sending their children to higher education institutions. As a result, there is a possibility of decline in the rate of women's education in the country.

There are complaints that quality education is not being imparted in most of the educational institutions of the country. Due to the lack of quality education, enlightened people with humanity and human values ​​are not being developed among the students. Students are rushing from one coaching center to another for better results. Parents also want a good result certificate. Honesty and ethics are worthless here. Even if the leaked out question papers are bought at a high price, they are rushing to hand them over to their children. Unethical competition is going on everywhere. The number of uneducated unemployed in the country is increasing due to substandard, certificate-based education. Students are getting involved in unethical activities at the beginning of their life. We have come to know that the place of teacher is after parents. Teachers are people builders, the lamp of knowledge. But for some corrupt teachers and substandard education system the entire teaching community is being questioned. Students are busy with unethical and meaningless work rather than studying. Students are supposed to study in the library, but the library is empty now. The number of people interested in learning here is decreasing. How will the family, society and the nation continue with the talentless nation? Talented people are moving out of the country in the hope of a better, prosperous life. Besides, the rich are sending their children abroad for education. Illicit money of wealthy parents is making children reckless.

We know that the more educated the nation, the more advanced the nation. Teachers have contributed the most in developing the minds, brains and brains of the holders of the overall development of the nation over the years. Teachers are the main driving force, the conscience of the nation and the man-builders. The golden days of the nation arose from their hands. But if a section of those teachers are dishonest or involved in unethical work question paper leakage for money, it is really painful and a great shame for the nation. This is a shame and dishonor to everyone.

Teaching is the most prestigious profession in the society but that status seems to be rotting now and only for some dishonest and unethical teachers. There are still many honest and devoted teachers in our society. They are constantly feeling insulted by the dishonest actions of some teachers. Now is the time to stand up. Those who are corrupting the noble profession of teaching should be punished by exemplary punishment, not temporary, but lifelong expulsion. This is why the government needs to be careful. The state should take special care to ensure that no criminal gets away with political power. Besides, zero tolerance policy should be followed in the case of such criminals. Also, on the initiative of the Ministry of Education, a survey can be conducted based on various issues including teaching methods, personality, ethics of teachers in every educational institution of the country, starting from primary school to higher education. More information will come out daily.

History testifies that teachers have a commendable role for the country. The role of the teachers' society in the language movement in fifty-two, the education movement in sixty-two, the mass uprising in sixty-nine, the great liberation war of seventy-one, and the movement against the dictatorship of Ershad in the nineties was exemplary and highly commendable. From their leadership and guidance, the nation was gradually liberated from various exploitations and oppressions. Their honor must never be allowed to tarnish. A respectable teacher is supposed to play a role in serving the country by inculcating a student in moral education as well as inculcating him as a person of ideal character. Naturally, the question arises, if there is a ghost in mustard who will chase away the ghost or who will protect the fields if the fence starts eating the fields!
