President Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has called for special importance to be given to technology, engineering and technical education suited to employment at home and abroad.
He made the call when a delegation led by Pabna University of Science and Technology Vice-Chancellor (VC) Prof Dr Abul Hasnat Mohammad Shamim came to pay a courtesy call on the president this afternoon.
The president’s Press Secretary Md Sarwar Alam confirmed the matter to BSS.
During the meeting, the vice-chancellor apprised the president of the university’s overall activities.
The president said the quality of education must be raised in keeping with the rapidly changing world and the country’s students must move forward.
He further said we must gradually come out of an education system that creates unemployment and is not suited to work.
During the meeting, the vice-chancellor formally invited the president to be present at the upcoming convocation as chancellor.
The president accepted the invitation and gave an assurance that he would be present at the convocation.
The president’s military secretary, secretary and press secretary and the university’s pro-VC and treasurer were present at the time.
