BSS, Dhaka :
President M Abdul Hamid asked students to launch a vigorous campaign against social degradation, including the divorce culture and the trend of foreign culture, as he addressed the first convocation of Fareast International University (FIU) here.
“You (graduates) must come forward to gear up awareness campaign against all components of social degradation, like divorce culture and ills of foreign culture,” the President said this on Thursday while speaking at the function at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC) here.
He added: “Divorce rate in Bangladesh is on rise now . . . But it should not happen in our Bengali culture. And such social ill is spreading due to social degradation and you have to play a pioneering role against cheating in the name of love affairs.”
The President, also Chancellor of the university, advised the students not to be fond of taking, what doctors say, health-harming fast foods and soft drinks.
Speaking at the convocation ceremony, President Hamid asked universities to abide by its rules and regulations at all stages, including students’ admission, teachers’ appointment, question-making, selecting academic curriculum and fixing tuition fees, and ensure healthy academic environment on campuses.
“We must bear in mind that the education is not a commodity . . . You (whoever want to run a university) must follow the rules and regulations at all stages,” he opined.
The President also asked the University Grants Commission (UGC) to play an effective as well as strict role to ensure quality of higher education so that the higher studies would not be only for getting certificates.
