Campus Report :
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid, MP said that along with ensuring the education for all, we have to concentrate on the development of Human Development Index (HDI). He also emphasized that the practice of research must be ensured by extending the research opportunity in Universities.
In his speech as the Chief Guest of the 5th Convocation of Uttara University held at the University campus recently, Nurul Islam Nahid said that the students have to be devoted towards the overall development of their country. The special guest Professor Abdul Mannan, Chairman, University Grants Commission (UGC) said that we need to provide the real history of liberation war to the new generation and none can erase the true history of liberation war of Bangladesh through violence.
The Convocation Speaker Dr Anisuzzaman, Professor Emeritus, University of Dhaka has expressed that to achieve higher education is a public right-is an absurd idea.
The public right is to achieve primary education where higher education is for the talented students. Without having any talent and qualification, the ambition of taking higher education is nothing but embarrassing. He said that the general demand of receiving higher education is less.
He also said to the graduating students to keep themselves ready to learn forever, be rational and devotedly do the duties and responsibilities to their own country. He suggested them to remember that they are the world citizens and they all are sisters and brothers.
