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鈥檚 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 成人论坛 Bangla in Dhaka - he explains what the quota system is and why students want to change it.
