Despite the abundance of educational institutions across the country, our schools and universities largely seem to be against true intellectual production. The system focuses on rote memorization and standardized tests, which contribute little to a student’s growth.
While Bangladesh has a wealth of talented individuals, the lack of unification and support keeps them neutralized. Only recently have we seen a student political uprising. This gives hope that we may be able to unite for the advancement of Philosophy, Science, Art, Culture, Literature, Technology and Innovation. We could even revive the crafts of Bengal’s Golden Age.
Another core issue of our contemporary society is “Medha Pachar” (brain drain). To demonstrate the severity with just one fact: every year, 55% of BUET graduates leave the country, never to return. Every citizen experiences the loss of talents, which, if they stayed, could dramatically improve the quality of every sector in Bangladesh.
Medha Academy promises to address these problems and manifest a socio-intellectual revolution among the youth.
