Enough seats in colleges for successful SSC students: Nahid

Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid has said that there are enough seats in colleges and other similar educational institutions across the country for the successful SSC students. He said quality of education has improved because of right steps taken by the government. The minister remarked when addressing a press conference at his ministry in the city on Saturday evening. The press conference was arranged on the occasion of publication of the results of SSC and its equivalent examinations held this year. Despite gradual increase in pass rate in public examinations in recent years, many wondered if this reflects improvement in quality of education. The minister said the result of the examinations were published in due time, despite disruptions of exams by some quarters. “Our main challenge has been to enhance quality of education. It is improving every year,” Nahid added. The minister, however, said that the authorities will take special arrangement for the successful students if they fail to take admission in colleges for lack of seats, according to a news agency.
