Reports of establishing a university in every constituency are baseless: Education Ministry

DHAKA, June 15, 2026 (BSS) - The Ministry of Education today said reports 
published in various media outlets and on social media claiming that the 
government plans to establish a university in every parliamentary 
constituency are completely false, baseless and misleading.

The information was disclosed in a press release issued by the ministry 
today.

According to the release, the ministry's attention was drawn to a news report 
titled "Government plans to establish a university in every parliamentary 
constituency," published in various media outlets and shared on social media, 
quoting Education and Primary and Mass Education Adviser Dr. A N M Ehsanul 
Hoque Milon.

Presenting the actual facts, the release said that at the programmed in 
question, the minister had stated: "Honourable Members of Parliament come 
with recommendations for establishing high schools, colleges and universities 
in their respective areas. But they do not recommend primary schools." Which 
some news outlets presented improperly. 

However, the minister, at the programme, said, "A primary school will be 
established in every village of the country."

The Ministry of Education urged everyone not to be misled by such false 
reports.
