Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni on Tuesday pitched for the
harmonisation of higher education and vocational training as National
Parliament passed a bill for establishing a new science and technology
university in Pirojpur.
Urging people to shed the misconception that vocational
training is only for the "less intelligent" and those from the
marginal families, she outlined her Ministry's efforts in working towards the
development of technical institutes in the country.
"The Education Ministry is working towards establishing
technical education colleges, vocational institutes and science and technology
universities in important cities and districts to impart soft skills and
technical knowledge on the youth," she said.
Dipu Moni introduced the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
Science and Technology University Pirojpur
Bill, 2022, in Parliament and it was passed with a voice
vote.
She also told the Parliament that vice-chancellors of public
universities are appointed based on three criteria -- academic excellence,
contribution in research, and leadership experience in teachers’ associations
and administrative post-holding experience.
“Though we want highly qualified people in the
vice-chancellor's post in universities, many refuse to hold the position
considering the administrative burden,” she said. "Despite objections
against the activities of some VCs of public universities, almost all are doing
their duties properly."
Earlier in the day, the Parliament session began with
Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury in the chair. After the bill was passed, the
session was postponed till Wednesday 11am.
