Why do teachers leave?
« on: April 28, 2010, 01:45:46 PM »
Dear students

When you start doing jobs, you will understand that coming and going are the flow of life. This is very natural.

Some of our teachers left DIU because of one main reason. They got the job in public university like Dhaka University. But very soon one day will come when teachers will stay in private university like DIU. Why?

Because the teachers' environment here at DIU  is better than any other university in Bangladesh. Even those who left DIU said that DIU teachers' interpersonal relationship is the best.  Then why do they leave? This is very natural. Most of Dhaka University lecturers who worked in DIU earlier are now abroad for higher studies. So, this is very natural. People come and people go. We have to accept this phenomenon.

I know some of our earlier teachers joined govt. and private banks, NGOs, and private companies because they didn't like the teaching profession.  People's mission and objectives are different. I personally know Ms. Nasreen Shahnaz, one of our teachers went to UIU and then migrated to Australia. She is no more in teaching. Some teachers who went to some other universities are not happy there. Some others left due to their personal interest. But all of them appreciate the environment of DIU even now. So, we have to accept this coming and going. 

But we are trying to retain our good teachers who are helpful and cooperative to the students. People will come and people will go but we will be trying to keep good teachers....we have to remember that everybody's life style and vision are not the same. People's missions and objectives are different. We all are different.....  our goals and objectives are different...our ambitions are different, our wants and demands are different.....

Thank you sir for sharing the very important matter with us.

Sometimes our students may feel frustration, specially when they see there favorite teachers are leaving.
But they also should think the reality and have patience to cope up with the changing environment which is really important for there future.

Dear students

Let us all be positive in our words and actions. In every organization people come and people go. Nobody can force anyone to stay for ever if he or she does not want to. For your information, in the USA, people who change their jobs frequently are considered more skilled than those who stay in the same organization.  It's about your perception as well. Oneday Ashik, Dider, Moheuddin and Debashish have to leave DIU after graduation. This coming and going sustain the flow of life. In our case, most of our teachers went to Dhaka University (DU), to their mother institution to do service.

But yes, we will be trying to retain our teachers from now on except in the case of going to DU.

About campus, please don't worry. NSU shifted to their permanent campus after 18 years, you know. But we will do that very soon insallah.

However, Ashik, Dider, Moheuddin and Debashish, why don't you meet me sometime on the 3rd floor, Price Plaza? I can listen to your views and can give you further clarification.

Warmly

Why is DIU one of the best?
« Reply #8 on: June 10, 2010, 04:26:22 PM »
Why is DIU one of the best? Because our website along with web activities is so rich that we are getting recognition from all over the world. Many teachers have publications and research articles in reputed journals. International research organization and publishers pick the articles of different teachers from DIU web-site and are interested in publishing those internationally. Many of us like Mr. Mahbub Parvez, Mr. Masud Ibn Rahman, Mr. A. K. M. Fazlul Haque, Mr. Bimal Chandra Das and many other respected faculty members will be getting loyalty for the research work they carried out. All credit goes to DIU, i think. Because it's DIU who gives us the platform to let our research work familiar with the International publishing bodies.  

Also to mention, DIU is the first University that recognizes and grants remuneration for our research work. To know more, please talk to respective Head of the Department.

Finally DIU is the first university that has introduced Gratuity for the employees. So, let's think before we leave.

I hope teachers will not leave DIU from now on. The benefits have been increased. We have congenial atmosphere. We have owned more than two third of Price Plaza. About me, I have been serving here since February 2002. I had the opportunity to settle down in the UK and had the chance to work with the British Council and other university, but for me, DIU is better and hopefully it will be the best........

Shibli Sir, I totally agree with whatever you said... But I'm in a great dilemma, if I should put my comments over here or not, as I'm a mere "newbie"... But I'm writing this because I think that I should know about this stuff... I know that it is wise to avail opportunities but is it absolutely ethical? For example- I knew a former DIU teacher who use to be a brilliant one, and he has been acclaimed internationally. But, when he saw that a brilliant opportunity is knocking at his door, to be a teacher of a top most varsity of BD, he left... So my point is, shouldn't he respect the DIU authority and love the students and remain a "loyal" figure of DIU? And he should have considered, that he'd a gr8 asset for DIU over the time. I am sorry Sir if i had said any degenerated stuffs...

Wherever someone works, he or she should work sincerely as long as s/her remains there.
