The Education Ministry has decided to take legal action against the coaching centre Saifur’s for publishing an objectionable advertisement recently.
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid told reporters during a briefing at the Secretariat yesterday. The ministry held a meeting ahead of this year’s HSC examinations as part of the government’s preparation.
In its advertisement, Saifur’s addressed students saying that “if you want to learn hacking you will have to know English as well.”The advertisement also claimed that the hackers could not take Bangladesh Bank’s Tk160 crore because of a mistake in spelling. It said when the hackers were transferring money to Sri Lanka, they wrote fandation instead of foundation.
Nahid said: “A coaching centre named Saifur’s published an advertisement where it mentioned that if you don’t know English well, you will not be able to perform well in education, and also you can’t be a good hacker due to the lack of knowledge in English language.”
Education minister said they are confusing and misleading people by publishing such an advertisement. “They are trying influence hackers.”
He said such advertisements which can mislead the young generation will not be tolerated.
Regarding HSC exams, the minister hoped that it would be held peacefully.
The exams are scheduled to start on April 3.
He said law enforcement agencies are on alert to stop any attempt on question leakage. “We will not spare anyone who will be found involved with question leakage,” he added.
