On-demand free classes on tutoring platform Porai

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Free online classes have been organized by the on-demand tutoring platform “Porai” (www.porai.net). Not so much for the one day, but every day. To commemorate Bangladesh’s golden jubilee of independence, there will be one-month free online tutoring performed from March 1, 2022 and onwards.

All students will have access to this educational and learning platform. Beginning March 1, 2022, special sessions for grades 8-12 will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. Physics, Chemistry, Biology, General and Higher Mathematics, English, and Accounting are the subjects that will be covered in the classes initially. Registration is currently open for classes in student-required subjects that are completely free.

Md. Jonaidul Islam, Operations Manager of Porai, says that Porai is basically an on-demand tutoring platform, where any problem related to textbooks of school-college students can be solved immediately. A student will be able to come to the learning platform and have a one-on-one discussion about his or her problem with an experienced teacher.

He added that Porai is going to open up a whole new, broader dimension to all students challenging the system of traditional tuition. Consider the case of a student who has a math difficulty the night before an exam. What will he do now that he hasn’t found a teacher? Who will teach him in a half-hour class? There have been attempts to fix this problem using a concept similar to Uber or Foodpanda. Porai will cater to the requirements of students. If students post the problem, experienced teachers who will be free or able to teach that particular chapter at that moment will participate in the bidding. The student has the option of selecting his own teacher. They can even participate in the first three minutes of the experimental class completely free of cost. If students don’t like it, they have the option of changing teachers as well.

Porai is trying to make education easier for students to get education from home after the coronavirus infection has started. The student who is studying in 8th grade in 2022, does he know the basics of geometry and algebra that he was supposed to know in 6th or 7th grade? According to the statistics, due to the prolonged closure of educational institutions in this epidemic, about three-fourths of the students in schools and colleges are lagging behind in achieving the marginal qualifications of the respective classes. They are doing the current class with the learning deficit. The journey of the Porai platform is being started with the aim of solving this problem of the students. 

The content of education on porai.net is not limited to school-college curriculum only. There will also be various programs in programming and English such as TOEFL, IELTS, GRE. There are also other services available such as human health, yoga, cooking training, filling out visa forms. In all, more than three hundred contents are being added to the site.
Currently, registration is open to receive a free solution to a problem in the student’s needed topic. Anyone can learn online anytime through this platform. To register, visit www.porai.net and Facebook page fb.com/porai.net

Mystery at the Station: Youth Who Attacked ASI Found Dead in Pond Near Gaibandha Police

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

A bizarre and chilling chain of events unfolded at Saghata Police Station in Gaibandha, leaving a community in shock and a mystery in its wake. A young man who had barged into the station, attempted to snatch a rifle, and stabbed an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI), was found dead in a nearby pond early Friday morning.

The drama began around 10:00 PM on Thursday, when the unidentified youth, believed to be in his late twenties, entered the police station claiming he wanted to file a complaint. Things quickly escalated. According to police and eyewitnesses, an argument broke out when the computer operator asked the youth to write down the complaint himself and bring it in.

Suddenly, the youth lunged at a constable, trying to grab his rifle. In the chaos that followed, ASI Mohsin Mia and others rushed in to stop him. A scuffle broke out, and the youth managed to stab ASI Mohsin before fleeing into the night.

As it happened, a local arbitration meeting was being held right outside the station. Locals and police joined forces in hot pursuit. Moments later, the youth was seen diving into the pond beside Saghata Pilot High School, trying to hide under thick water hyacinths.

The area was cordoned off, and police kept vigil overnight. Locals eventually went home. But when dawn broke, the Fire Service recovered the youth’s lifeless body from the pond. Whether he drowned or succumbed to other causes is still unknown. His body was taken to the station and later sent to Gaibandha General Hospital for an autopsy.

Speaking to Prothom Alo, Officer-in-Charge Badsha Alam confirmed the incident, saying:

“We cannot confirm the cause of death until we receive the post-mortem report. A legal investigation is underway, and we are working to identify the individual.”

He added that ASI Mohsin suffered injuries to his hand and forehead and was treated at Saghata Upazila Health Complex. A formal briefing on the incident is expected soon.

One eyewitness, Abdullah Mondal, recounted the surreal scene:

“There was a loud commotion, and then I saw this unknown young man running like his life depended on it, with cops and locals behind him. Then—splash—he dove into the pond. But after that… nothing.”

As authorities dig into the circumstances surrounding this strange encounter, one question lingers in the air: Who was he, and what drove him to charge into a police station with chaos in his eyes and a knife in his hand?

Words That Win: Global Spell Bee 2025 National Final Wraps Up at North South University

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The air at North South University buzzed with brains and big dreams as the national finale of Global Spell Bee 2025 reached its crescendo. Students from across the country battled it out with syllables and synonyms, showing off not just stellar spelling skills but razor-sharp thinking and academic brilliance.

Organised by EduPro Concepts BD Ltd. in collaboration with GateKeepr and Help the Future, and proudly hosted by the North South University Debate Club, this event wasn’t just a spelling showdown—it was a stage where young minds from grades 4 to 12 danced with words, discovered their potential, and learned to roar (politely, of course) in perfect English.

The event is a part of the internationally recognized Global Spell Bee, and the stakes were sky-high. Winners from this round will pack their dictionaries and dreams for Dubai this October, where they’ll go head-to-head with contestants from nearly 50 countries for a shot at global recognition—and one life-changing educational journey.

The grand finale drew in an impressive crowd of guests and dignitaries. Chief Guest Professor Abdul Hannan Chowdhury, Vice-Chancellor of NSU and Chairman of Grameen Bank, lit up the stage with encouragement:

“Competitions like the Global Spell Bee help students become smarter, more confident, and better at expressing their thoughts. The moment you stepped in and competed, you already won.”

Stephen Forbes, Country Director of the British Council Bangladesh, chimed in with wise words wrapped in inspiration:

“Education gives you choices. The more you learn, the more life brings you options.”

Also present was Mohammad Inzamul Haque, Assistant Personal Secretary to the Education Adviser at the Ministry of Education, who praised the competition for going beyond grades and grammar:

“It builds confidence, discipline, and communication—skills that are essential for the world these students are stepping into.”

The competition itself? Oh, it was fierce. It had everything—from intense written and oral rounds to workshops, mentorship marathons, and plenty of “spell-offs.” Contestants had access to premium vocabulary resources and coaching that leveled up their comprehension and communication game.

In the senior category, the finale was so tight, it needed a tiebreaker—because apparently, excellence decided to show up twice. Eventually, Nabiha Tahseen Nubah from Sunnydale School claimed the crown. Over in the junior category, Ibnat Namira Ahmed from Summerfield International School stole the spotlight.

Every participant walked away with medals and certificates, but more than that—they carried home confidence, connections, and a renewed love for learning.
