No compromise regarding ensuring quality of higher education: UGC chairman

The University Grant Commission chairman Professor Dr AK Azad Chowdhury said a number of private universities were engaged in selling out certificates which must be closed.

'There is no compromise regarding ensuring quality of higher education,' he said on Saturday while addressing as the chief guest at the publication ceremony of two books of former vice-chancellor of the Chittagong University Professor Abdul Mannan.

Professor Dr Anupam Sen, VC of Premier University, presided over the publication ceremony of the books, Uchchha Shikkha O Prasonggik Bhabna and Protikriti: Ai Desh Ai Somoy, held at the Theater Institute, Chittagong.

Professor Anowarul Azim Arif, VC of Chittagong University, Professor Sikandar Khan, VC of East Delta University,  Professor Alamgir Mohammed Sirajuddin, former VC of CU, Professor Dr Moinul Islam, former president of Bangladesh Economics Association, veteran revolutionary Binod Bihari Chowdhury and journalist Abul Momen addressed the ceremony among others.

Professor AK Azad also said that they had taken measures to close a number of universities engaged in selling out certificates. These universities would be closed soon, he said.

He also said that the book Uchchha Shikkha O Prasonggik Bhabna by Professor Mannan was a proper contemporary document. The writer had placed the real scenario and his expectation to the politicians in both of his books.

'Professor Mannan has observed the society with a deep vision and praised what is acceptable apart from criticising the unacceptable aspects,' Azad said.

'I criticise different faults of the pro-liberation, democracy and secular forces constructively keeping in mind so that the opposite camp can not gain benefits from its,' he said.

The other speakers said Professor Mannan had been discharging his social responsibilities properly adding that the necessity of both his books would never be ended although he had focused on contemporarily issues.
