BANGLADESH GOVT MOVE TO BRING ALL NATIONAL UNIVERSITY AFFILIATED STATE RUN COLLEGES OFFERING GRADUATE AND POST GRADUATES DEGREE UNDER PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IS BEING OPPOSED BY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY SENATE SAYING IT WILL NOT ANY BENEFITS INSTEAD WILL BE HARMFUL FOR PUBLIC AND UNIVERSITIES The government’s decision to bring all National University-affiliated state-run colleges offering graduate and postgraduate degrees under public universities will not bring any benefit, rather it will be harmful for both the NU and public universities, according to NU senate members. If the decision is implemented, a haphazard situation will be created in the country’s higher education system, they said. The public universities are not themselves free from session jam. Some 30,000 to 50,000 students of the colleges under NU will be an extra burden for them, they added. Instead spiting the NU, the government should take steps to remove its existing problems, including shortage of teachers, infrastructures, libraries, reading rooms, laboratories and other facilities instead of breaking it down, the NU senate members said. The NU senate members expressed the concerns at a special meeting at its Gazipur campus on December 27. The NU formed a committee consisting of seven members at the meeting, which will meet the prime minister to express their concerns, said sources in the NU. On August 31, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina directed the education ministry to bring the government colleges under public universities. Prof Dr Muhammad Samad, a senate member of the NU, said the social and political impact of the government’s decision would be very bad.
