Public Univ: Dipu Moni for removing age bar on admission
Education Minister Dipu Moni yesterday said that the age barrier and time limit should be removed for admission to public universities in Bangladesh.
People of any age have the right to study in universities if they can pass the admission test. No obstacle can be placed in education, she said.
The minister made these remarks while speaking as chief guest at the golden jubilee celebration programme of Jahangirnagar University's Department of Physics.
She called upon all public universities to come under the cluster admission test system.
"The admission test process in the cluster system has reduced the sufferings of everyone including students and parents. Five to six universities in the country are not covered by it. Hope they would join the cluster admission test system soon," she said.
"We have to place our universities in the world ranking. So, we have to work on the criteria of ranking," said the education minister.
Addressing the programme, JU Vice Chancellor Prof Nurul Alam said, after he took charge, the first demand of the students was to organise the convocation. "I will arrange the convocation soon."
JU Pro-VC (Administration) Prof Sheikh Md Manzurul Huq, dean of JU Mathematical and Physical Sciences faculty Prof Farid Ahmed and Director of Wazed Miah science research centre and prominent scientist Prof AA Mamun were present as special guests, among others.
