Sukanth Bikash Dhar, Satkania: In Satkania, the education of five students has become uncertain due to the fraud of the madrasa superintendent. This situation has arisen because the super students could not take part in the Dakhil examination this year, even with money and the necessary documents. In this situation, students are confused, and parents are worried about the uncertainty of their educational lives. The incident took place in Dakshin Dhemsha Daimarkhil Islamia Dakhil Madrasa of Dhemsha Union of Upazila. The madrasa superintendent assured that the deprived students will be able to participate in the entrance examination next year, but the education board officials say that there is no opportunity to participate in the entrance examination if there is no registration in the eighth and ninth classes. Although there was a commotion in the area, UNO and secondary education officials said they were not aware of the matter. The five students who failed the exam are Md. Arfatul Islam, Md. Khaled Imtiaz, Md. Russell, Md. Rakibul Islam, and Abul Hasnat.
Md. Arfatul Islam, Md. Khaled Imtiaz, and M. Russell, who were deprived of the submission test, said that during the corona period, JDC explained the necessary documents, including the registration fee, to the super, but their names did not come to the auto side because the super registration was not done. Later, when the candidates looked for the certificate, the supervisor said that the certificate would be given by the education board. Among them, five examinees passed the annual examination by enrolling in ninth grade. They were admitted to class 10 and passed the selective examination. Fees are also paid for filling out forms for appearing in submission exams and for refresher training programs or coaching. Initially, the superintendent assured the candidates to give the exam, but later, when the superintendent asked for the exam admit card before the start of the exam, he said that it was not possible to fill out the application form due to non-registration in JDC. So the exam admit card did not come from the board. When the students asked the reason for this, the supervisor did not give any reply. Super asks them to prepare for the exam in 2024. Meanwhile, the superintendent scolded them and threw them out of the office, asking how they (students) would take the exam if they were not registered in the eighth and ninth classes. The candidates also said that 2500 taka and 1000 taka are taken from each candidate for filling out the exam form and 1000 taka for the coaching fee. If Abul Hasnat does not coach, he has to pay five thousand rupees to the superintendent.
The examinees said in a tone of regret, “We are like the (super) children of Huzur. Thus, if Huzur’s child could not pass the exam, how did the Lord feel? Why was our educational life destroyed like this? Huzur will not take responsibility for this. We have to carry our lives.
According to madrasa sources, this year the number of candidates submitted to the madrasa is 12. Among them were seven girls and five boys. As the madrasa was established in 2002 but is not yet affiliated with MPO, boys take the Dakhil examination under Rupkaniya Ahmadiyya Dakhil Madrasah and girls under Anjumane Islamia Mahila Madrasah. This year, the girls participated in the Dakhil examination.
In this regard, Kamal Hossain, father of the candidate Khaled Imtiaz, said, I met the superintendent after hearing that his son could not take the exam. The superintendent said that he will not be able to take the exam this year because he did not register by mistake. However, after calling the supervisor several times, he did not receive I heard that the super misbehaved with the students in this regard.
Kamal Hossain said in a tearful voice, “After hearing this, I have no sleep day and night.” Other boys are taking exams, but my son comes home. I had many dreams about my son. A lot has been lost now.
In this regard, Kamrunnahar Begum, the mother of examinee Arfatul Islam, said, I feel very sad. The Dakhil examination is a 10-year pursuit for a student. I can’t bear such a big loss for my son because of Huzur. Similarly, other parents also expressed such an opinion.
In this regard, Nomanur Rahman, Superintendent of Islamia Dakhil Madrasa of Dakshin Dhemsha Daimarkhi, said, “Supreme Superintendent of Rupkania Ahmadiyya Madrasa for JDC examination during Corona period. Despite giving money and necessary documents to Mr. Ismail, due to his negligence, the result on the auto side did not come at that time. The final sheet of JDC results for 2019 will be out in January 2023. This list also does not have the names of our students.
Nomanur Rahman said, I thought that I had given all the documents, including money, to that madrasa and the work would be done. But Super Ismail Saheb’s mistake and deception did not work. At the last minute, it seemed like the sky had collapsed.
Super Nomanur Rahman said about the allegations of cheating and scolding the students, “What is wrong with cheating the students? They are my students. He also denied the scandal.
On the question of how to participate in the examination in 2024 if there is no registration in JDC and Class IX, the super said that lobbying is going on at the highest level to conduct the examination next year.
In this regard, Rupkaniya Ahmadiya Dakhil Madrasa Superintendent Md. Ismail’s statement was not available as he is in Saudi Arabia. However, in this regard, the secretary of the management committee of the madrasa Shah Alam and office assistant Shahadat Hossain said that in 2021, the students of Daimarkhil Dakhil Madrasah took the Dakhil exam under our madrasa. But did not give the exam in 2022. This year also, Dakhil came to the super madrasa while filling out the exam form. But it was not possible to fill out the form due to the non-registration of students in eighth and ninth grades.
Regarding the submission of money and necessary documents by Super Nomanur Rahman, they said that the Madrasa Super did not accept any such money transaction or any documents for filling out the forms. Super Noman Sahib is not telling the truth about this.
In this regard, Daimarkheel Islamia Dakhil Madrasa Management Committee Secretary Abu Taher said the Super Sahib has heard a lot about this matter. The superintendent has been asked to take the necessary steps so that those students can take the exam next year.
Bangladesh Madrasa Education Board Sub-Madrasa Inspector-1 Md. Akram Hossain said there is no opportunity to participate in the Dakhil examination without registration in eighth or ninth grade. So the matter of participating in next year’s exam is also uncertain.
Satkania Upazila Executive Officer (UNO) Fatema-Tuz-Zohra and Upazila Secondary Education Officer Salim Uddin said that they are not aware of five candidates not being able to participate in the Dakhil examination.
