Tuesday, 20 November 2007
President Prof Iajuddin Ahmed Monday stressed the importance of providing appropriate and quality education to the students so that they could prepare themselves to confidently face the growing challenges, reports UNB.
"It's our prime responsibility to ensure quality education by dedicating our concerted efforts," he told the 11th convocation of North South University at Bangladesh-China Friendship Centre in the city.
The President who is also the Chancellor of the University said the main objective of the Private University Act 1992 was to open up a new horizon for widening the scope for quality higher education in the country.
"But with the passage of time, we observe that private universities are facing many constraints, including their own campuses, library facilities, research work, scope for freethinking and congenial atmosphere," he said.
He also said many students of low-income group could not afford higher education in private universities due to their high tuition fees.
Iajuddin urged the authorities concerned to create more opportunities for the meritorious but poor students in order to build a caring society.
Emphasising the need for having a knowledge-based society, the President said the darkness of the society would have to be removed with the glow of wisdom and the flame of knowledge.
