Attention , education planners


There are now more than fifty private universities in Bangladesh. Only a few of these institutions are offering quality education and producing students who can contribute to society. But there are hundreds of public institutions like Jagannath University College or Eden University College across the country where students of reasonably good calibre are studying. Moreover, these public institutions have their own campuses and some truly competent teachers.

Our government is establishing new universities but overlooking the prospects of these existing institutions. A government initiative can make these institutions centres of state-of-the-art education.
