It's very important to make teaching enjoyable. As a result, intellectual development of students becomes easier. Every teacher wants to make his class enjoyable for the students. But I think it is a big challenge in the current context of Bangladesh to make the class enjoyable for the subject-based teachers'.

There are several reasons behind this:

1 # Deficiency of multimedia classroom and its limited use:
By multimedia class we understand only information and communication technology class. Although there are official directives to take other subjects through multimedia classes, its implementation is lacking. Class teaching through multimedia classes does not require presentation of real materials in front of students. However, it is possible to present examples of any topic to the students online.

2 # Examples are limited to the pictures in the book and lack of materials:
Apart from kindergarten and primary education, teaching through practical materials at the secondary and higher secondary levels is almost non-existent. Without multimedia classes, subject-based teachers simply show pictures of books to complete the class. As a result, students have to memorize their readings due to lack of practical examples and the class becomes non-effective.

3 # Lack of family education of the students:
Family education is the first priority of a student. In the beginning, parents should teach their children about some basic things like: good manners, patience, compassion, hard work, sense of responsibility etc. Even an uneducated or less educated person knows these things. I have heard many parents say, "I sent my child to your school, now it is your responsibility to raise him", or when a student misbehaves, I hear them say, "As you have taught, he has done the same!". It is not possible to teach a student sense of ethics, responsibility and knowledge through classroom teaching only. We need to coordinate classroom teaching with family education.
