DHAKA, Oct 23, 2019 (BSS) – University Grants Commission (UGC) of
Bangladesh has urged the Ministry of Education to take immediate steps for
appointing vice-chancellor, pro vice-chancellor and treasurer against the
vacant key posts of country’s universities.
The statutory apex body issued a letter to Senior Secretary of Secondary
and Higher Education Division on October 22, 2019, a UGC press release said
today.
In the letter, UGC mentioned that posts of Vice-Chancellors, Pro Vice-
Chancellors and Treasurers have been lying vacant in a number of universities
of the country. The academic and administrative activities of these
universities are being seriously hampered. Besides, students of these
universities are also facing academic and other problems.
The government is committed to producing skilled and accomplished manpower
by establishing at least one university in every district of the country in
public-private initiatives for making the higher education time-befitting and
accessible.
The government has already established one university in most of the
districts of the country and the process is underway to establish university
in other districts where there is no university.
