93% of Bangladeshis Back Ban on Student Politics

BY A STAFF REPORTER: An interim government has been established in Bangladesh, with Muhammad Yunus appointed as its head. This development has brought a degree of stability to the country, following a period of significant turmoil primarily driven by student politics.

Recent survey data reveals a strong public sentiment regarding this issue: 93% of Bangladeshis support the cessation of student politics within educational institutions. Conversely, 5% believe that student politics should continue without interruption.

Experts suggest a nuanced approach to this issue. While they acknowledge the potential benefits of student engagement in political activities, they recommend halting student politics that is affiliated with political parties. This compromise aims to balance the value of political engagement with the need to prevent the disruptions associated with partisan politics in educational settings.
