China should behave more humanly

China is one of the top leading countries, no doubt. But there are still some problems with humanity. In January 2020 when corona started, many students left China for fear of the disease. But many stayed there because they love China and their educational institutions, teachers and friends. Some of them lost their scholarships in August that year. It is the biggest shock of their life. But many professors in those universities wanted to help them.
They requested the authorities to give them one more chance. Those students could pass the exam. For their future and their health anxiety, they might not pass. But the authorities of Lanzhou University did not do anything. It questioned their humanity.
Students are grateful for their teacher. Teachers tried to help them but the university authority did not do anything. They ignored the students and misbehaved with them for leaving China and charged money for the dormitory. Some students had to leave China during those dangerous situations with expensive ticket cost. Definitely that was the time they fell in many problems i.e. financial, mental, educational, and especially physical. China needed to consider the issues with the eye of human rights.

In educational institutions, especially in college and university, suicidal case has been increasing in an alarming rate. A report from a voluntary organization ACHOL foundation revealed that in 2021 almost 101 university students died by suicide. Among them, almost 60 per cent students were from public university. Till june, 2022 more name added in this suicidal list. Few days ago, a suicidal video of a student of Dhaka University had been spread on social media. Parents are also concerned about this issue now.
Corona virus has significant impact in educational sectors. Different statistics and reports revealed the negative impact on mental health of the students during pandemic situation. Delay in completing graduation and career related issue made them more frustrated. This issue should be considered seriously so that suicidal case can be reduced. Each institution should appoint psychiatrist for counselling their students and to improve their mental health. Authority can ensure a better condition for the mental health of the students by counselling them in proper way.
