Nahid calls for quality edn

The education quality in both public and private universities should be enhanced to ensure Bangladesh's presence in global competitions, said Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid yesterday.
University students need to have a proper perspective of political and social issues to attain a holistic education, he told ASA University Bangladesh's (ASAUB) first convocation ceremony in the capital's Bangabandhu International Conference Centre.
