Bangladesh quota system and how PM had to leave the country?
The quota system.
Bangladesh’s quota system, particularly in public sector jobs and educational institutions, has faced criticism and issues over the years. Some of the common mistakes and criticisms include:
1. Inequity: The system has often been seen as unfair by merit-based candidates who feel disadvantaged by the large quota allocations.
2. Overrepresentation: Some groups receive a disproportionately large share of the quotas, leading to perceptions of favoritism and inequality.
3. Lack of Reform: Despite calls for reform, the quota system has remained largely unchanged, causing frustration among those who feel the system is outdated.
4. Corruption and Misuse: There have been instances where the quota system has been manipulated or abused, leading to questions about its integrity and fairness.
5. Impact on Quality: Critics argue that the quota system can sometimes compromise the quality of candidates, as it may prioritize quotas over merit.
