The Education Ministry has formed a committee to investigate problems of those private universities, which have not yet moved to the permanent campuses even after repeated warnings.
The Ministry on Tuesday formed the four-member committee headed by the member of the University Grants Commission (UGC) Professor Dr Md Akhtar Hossain.
UGC Member Professor Dr M Shah Nowaz Ali and Additional Secretary of the Education Ministry Abul Hassan Chowdhury have been made members of the committee, while UGC Deputy Director Jesmin Pervin will work as Member-Secretary.
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid disclosed this at a press conference after a meeting between the Education Ministry and UGC at the Secretariat on Tuesday afternoon.
“The committee will submit a full report by June 30 this year,” he said, while the Ministry will take appropriate action to implement the committee’s suggestions.
“This committee will discover the limitations facing private universities in establishing permanent campuses despite repeated warnings,” he said.
Factually, the 39 private universities have been asked to move to the permanent campuses by June 30 or to face action.
On January 24 this year, the Ministry asked all the private universities to operate their academic activities on the permanent campuses only.
The government has bifurcated the private universities into three categories. First category: Those universities have lands and started construction work; second category: Those have land only, third category: Those have no land and run their activities in rented building.
