Educators and civil society activists believe that Mausi’s warning to teachers and students to use social media could create an adverse situation. They think it may not be a government directive.
Some people think that the education administration may have been very enthusiastic in giving this instruction to please the government.
However, the Director General of the Department of Secondary and Higher Education (Maushi), Professor Syed Golam Md. Faruk, said: “These instructions are for teachers and staff, not for students. Bad news has arrived in the media. For those who are government employees. Students are no longer government employees.
However, the directive posted on Mausi’s own website does not match the words of the CEO. The order also clearly mentions the students. Although many people thought that this order was not justified, the teachers of any school-college in Mausi did not agree to comment on it.
Teachers, staff, and students have been asked to refrain from posting any post, image, audio, or video on social media, including Facebook-Twitter, that tarnishes the image of the government or state.
The directive further establishes that while approving the position, do not approve any position that is against government policy, against the respective institutions, offices and agencies. Otherwise, action will be taken against the postman and the administrator. Directors of educational institutions have been asked to monitor this matter.
About it, said the professor. Mohammad Kaikobad said: “It is not clear what the definition of image is. Criticizing any government action does not tarnish its image. The government must be allowed to criticize. In this way the government will understand what the real situation is. It is not good to give a letter to stop criticism.
There must be practice and opportunity for dissent. And he believes that we should have the opportunity to say what is good and what is bad.
Dr. According to Kaikobad, such instructions would create fear among teachers and students. They will be afraid to speak. Because they don’t know what the government will take as wrong.
However, it is the work of a very enthusiastic Dhaka University Professor of Political Science. Shantanu Majumdar. According to him, it may not be a political decision of the government. He said: ‘You cannot rule out what is a reality, what is inevitable. It is counterproductive, it is forced to fight back. It is not a work decision. It will cause discomfort.
However, Moazzam Hossain Mollah, former head of Dhaka College, thinks, ‘Mausi’s instruction is justified. Because a lot of people spread all kinds of slander on Facebook. Give irresponsible posts. You need to stop. Those who do politics will criticize. Teachers and students don’t need it. However, students who do politics are different.
“We have not issued any new instructions,” Mausi said. It is the cabinet directive for government employees and officials. We have reported it again. ‘
When asked what would be the interpretation of ‘image’, he said: ‘We will see which one tarnishes the image of the government and which one does not. He also takes care of those who post. We will also monitor it as the directors of educational institutions will notice.
