Morality of the students is a big concern in educational campuses. Their behavior, attitude and outlook all are judged by morality, and most of the time they are the only ones who are the convicted criminals of immorality in campuses. But now the story has reversed; teachers are also being eyed as immoral entity in campuses. There are several stories about the teachers teasing, molesting and beating students mercilessly.
In most of the professional campuses located in and out the city, teachers are becoming monsters for their students. The tools of attendance and internal marks are now the weapons of torture and exploitation. This tool has not only opened the door for exploitation but has also apparently created a business of malpractices in the city campuses. If you have any doubt in the subject or problem with your faculty, be careful to ask them; the result can be shortage of attendance or reduction in internal marks or more than that. Students have paid for it in the recent years, their academic year has been spoiled, and they get detained just because they argued with their faculty, no matter how good is the student in the subject.
Recently the news was in the air that a faculty strikes the answer sheet of a student and classifies it as a case of malpractice without any reason, consequently he gets zero marks. If this is the case then certainly the trusted relationship between a teacher and student will come to an end. And this end of trust will certainly lead to the opening of the door of endless confrontation.
The question is why such things happen and why is it not controlled? There are certainly various reasons for that but the most important one of them is the failure of universities in building an academic environment in campuses. Their role is mainly confined to register the student and ensure their exam papers get corrected (no matter how it is examined)
Colleges without proper infrastructure, facilities and trained faculties are just adding to student’s frustration. The university should built mechanism to control these incidents, and must create a forum where students can speak their fear, anxiety and problems. Media and educational NGO’s can also help in creating better learning environment and exposing the monster in the face of a teacher.

A really good article.
A nice focus on one of the most neglected reality of professional colleges these days.
May Allah give jaza-e-khair to Musab for highlighting it, and also providing some good suggestions to solve the problem.
Assalamualaikum...
Indeed i really appreciate Br. Syed Musab Iqbal for his effort to clearly understand the situation of the existing campuses and the remedy to overcome it.
But i feel it would have been better if he would have thrown some light on...the reasons.."why the campuses are becoming...commercial human production centres...rather than true centres of learning and serving humanity at large.."
Good One..
The idea of the student-teacher forum with equal participation and modulation by the administration is a good idea to get rid of this menace of exploitation by 'not to professional faculty' in so called 'professional colleges'.
Assalamualaikum,
A nice one, highlighting the issues in our campuses.
The answer to this in my opinion is that we should have an independent body with authoritative powers who can hold students, teachers and management accountable alike.
And NGOs can play a role of providing moral awareness and education.
And the core of the issue is still the adulterated conceptualization of universities and colleges as centers of education that is isolated from moral foundations of that education.
We need a moral revival movement .... and SIO can come to the rescue of this fragmenting educational system.

I think we can work towards the formation of a panel or forum, as Musab mentioned in his article, and yes SIO and NGO's can play an important role in that formation...
i read this article keeping my college in mind.it aptly fits the in abbove article.more solutions should have been given to control this menace of immoprality.
salam musab
wow i didn't know that sort of stuff happens..
its human nature I think to use what is in your power, to control others. I think you can safely assume teachers are in the lower rung of life, look at what the American presidents do to achieve what they want in the political arena...its the same thing, don't you think??
but its awful anyways, to feel helpless in the face of such arrogant behaviour...be it as a student or a muslim...
nice article.
wassalam.
alhamdulillah a nice effort started to discuss these type of common faults in educational institutions atleast because of these efforts we can bridge the gap between teacher and the students,may ALLAH give u the best reward for taking the initiative for these type of discussions . khaleeq,sio-hydearbad
