BRUR getting rid of session jam: VC

RANGPUR, May 28 (BSS): Vice-chancellor (VC) of Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur (BRUR) Professor Dr Md Hasibur Rashid has said the university is getting rid of session jam in the coming days.

"Although there was a four-year session jam due to various reasons even a year ago, the problem is coming to an end within a year. In the last one year, two batches of students completed their studies and entered workplaces," he said.

He was speaking as the chief guest at a farewell reception of the outgoing students of Department of Gender and Development Studies (GDS) for the 2014-15 academic sessions organised by the GDS Association at a restaurant here on Friday night, a press release said this evening.

Professor Rashid said the first step he took was to free the university from session clutter after joining as Vice-chancellor during the peak period of the Covid-19 pandemic.

"So, I started online classes and examinations. In a short span of time, we are now much more successful in getting rid of session jam," he said.

The vice-chancellor thanked all concerned including teachers and students for successfully running online classes and examinations during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Pointing to the outgoing students, the Vice-chancellor said that there is no end to education. He said it is still unknown what will be the pattern of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
