The maze on education value and subsequent spiraling disillusionment about the core contents and utilities of education is slowly making people aware that the right to
education can only be realized if education is adapted to each child rather than the children be forced to adapt to whatever schooling has been designed for them. Given the backdrop, it is now time to ‘educate the educators’, by listening to the voice of the poor and overhauling the primary education system that is overwhelmingly biased in favour of the affluent, write Jakir Hossain and Sarwar Bashar. This can be done through a deconstruction of the dominant value of education in comparison with peoples’ perception for a people oriented quality education system.
