Should there be an absent fee in colleges?
4000 taka. Extra. Every single month if you're absent for more than 2 days in a single month. Along with your actual tuition, around 4000 taka and a lot of hidden charges too.
Lab fees, for a lab where many computers do not work, and we don't even have that many lab classes. Taking fees while we're giving hsc exams and not even attending college. Taking fees after the test exam, when we're not even going to college. Taking money for "developmental purposes" but the only development they could come up with was a shishupark themed penguin dustbin and destroying our beloved canteen and building new shits there, taking up space from our basketball court as well. The kind of development no one ever asked for.
Many times there'll be issues with the payment system as well, with newer and newer "updates", making the process of giving those fees even more difficult with new portals which crash quite often.
I'm not gonna say the institution's name but it is very very well reputed. And I'm pretty sure there are many more colleges and schools in Bangladesh which are equally messed up.
I do not understand, we are already paying for the college. If I become absent, then why do I need to pay AGAIN? It's not like I'm damaging any property or I'm causing them any harm by not attending college. Besides, college does nothing but waste your time and energy. Everybody studies from tuitions, online classes or coachings anyways. I don't understand this "pay for your absence" scheme. I've always topped my class, and I'm quite happy with my results. But one time our class teacher humiliated me in front of everyone in our class because I was absent 5-6 times that month by shouting
" Bashay boshe boshe ki koro? Poro? Ki, first hoba? First toh hoba na. Tomar theke onek bhalo student ra ase Jara regular college e ashe, oder dike Takao ekbar."
That man left his job as a teacher for a government job lmao
