President's education

I have been thinking for some time that its been long since I have not written anything related with education. And Whoala! I just read an article today that I knew I had to write about. The article was about the education of US Presidents. This article here describes the various degrees that the US presidents up til now have achieved. Almost everyone know that Obama has achieved a JD from Harvard but so have other 44 presidents also. In fact, 2 of the US presidents have been engineers and basically you can go ahead and read the rest of the article. What instantly hit me was the relative education of our own presidents. The education of our presidents pales in comparison with that of the US presidents. The Wikipedia page of our incumbent president says that he 'claims' to have a degree from London, nut this degree has not been proven. I guess few of us have forgotten the attempt the of an MNA who was a "Haji" making his nephew give his bachelor exam but getting caught in the act. I realize that I am not here to enumerate the wrong things that people who run our country have done but this can give us a clue as to why our educational system lags far behind that of other comparable nations. If faking degrees and illegally trying to pass bachelors examination (which incidentally was the minimum eligibility criteria for an MNA not long ago) seems to be the favorite pastime of those in charge, we can hardly expect to see major strides in our educational system. We should take a page out of Bangladesh's book where the British A level system was the option for the elite while the rest mere mortals were forced to study under the outdated local system. However, they brought major reforms in their own system, bringing it at par with the British system. The result is that much of the students returned back to their local system and the relatively stronger economic progress could be attributed to partially to this sudden change.
Another problem that this revolution brought was that it made the Balance of Payments better off for Bangladesh. Britain earns huge amounts for itself by selling its top notch services but since Bangladesh has steered away from the need to import the pricey British education, it has also helped its B.O.P.
I look forward to the impending changes that our educational system has been crying out for so long. It is only with these changes that we can truly make ourselves better off.
