Why are students in Bangladesh protesting?
Manage episode 429511611 series 3498448
Since the start of the month, university students have been protesting across Bangladesh, asking for quotas in government jobs to be removed. 30% of roles are reserved for the children and grandchildren of people who fought for the country’s independence back in 1971.
The anti-quota protesters have clashed with members of a pro-government student group and police.
Things have escalated this week and at least ten people have been killed.
Akbar Hossein is from BBC Bangla in Dhaka - he explains what the quota system is and why students want to change it.
