President Iajuddin Ahmed yesterday called upon authorities of both private and public universities to come forward with state-of-the-art curricula to impart quality and time-worthy education to the students.
"As you know, at all the ages, educational institutions are regarded as the sacred and stately place of the country, which contain nation's hopes and aspirations by putting its collective endeavours.
“I hope university authorities both private and public would understand the tune of the society and would uphold the image of the esteemed institutions,” he added.
The president said this while addressing the inaugural ceremony arranged on the occasion of opening the permanent campus of Ahsanullah University of Science Technology (AUST) at Tejgaon in the city.
The president also unveiled the plaque of the new campus of the university.
Vice Chancellor of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet) Prof Dr AMM Safiullah, AUST VC Prof Dr M Anwar Hossain, Kazi Fazlur Rahman and Dhaka Ahsania Mission President Kazi Rafiqul Alam also spoke on the occasion.
Secretary to the president Md Sirajul Islam and Press Secretary Abdul Awal Howlader were present on the occasion.
Referring to the country's huge population in a small geographic location, Iajuddin said this vast populace could also be used as the driving force in the way of our development process by making it more skilled and capable.
He said globalisation and information technology encompass us at every nook and cranny of our everyday life and we must deal with this properly by using our skilled human resources in order to cope with the world family.
Turning to the rush of huge number of students in a limited number of universities, which leads unhealthy competition among the students at the time of getting admission, he said it needs to create more rooms for higher learning at tertiary level to face the growing pressure of the students.
He also praised the university for maintaining a high academic standard by its excellent faculty and hoped that the modern facilities developed at the new campus would give the university further impetus to develop it into a higher seat of learning.
