According to ministry and DSHE sources, many educational institutions have been found to have been extorting money from students in the name of admission and session fees, forms, among a series of fronts. But there is a lot about private institutions we do not know about. But if anyone complaints, we take action.”There are allegations that public educational institutions are extorting students in spite of the government having clear instructions on charging students. Several senior officials with the Education Ministry said even renowned institutions are essentially involved in malpractices when it came to hiring teachers. But yes, I have heard rumours of Tk17 lakh changing hands, but I have not taken any money.”Many public and private education institutions have been getting by under the radar while not complying with any government directives.
