PM angered by admission trade at educational institutions

---

Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina has expressed serious disdain for the 'admission trade' prevailing in different educational institutions of the country, reports UNB.
The PM gave vent to her anger when the standing committee members of the Association of Universities of Bangladesh (AUB) called on her Sunday, said the Prime Minister's Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad.
AUB is a body consisting of all the vice-chancellors of the country's 31 public universities.
Talking about the much-publicised allegations of the admission trade in colleges and universities, whereby students are admitted in exchange for money rather than on merit, the PM said she too has heard that a section of teachers are involved in such illegal activity.
"Nothing can be more shameful than this," the PM commented.
Hasina recalled the days of her student life when she was also involved in student politics, saying that during those days, Chhatra League leaders and activists had to remain busy helping admission seekers in filling up their admission forms and completing other academic formalities.
"We could not imagine admission trade or things like that during our times," the PM said.
