University research in Bangladesh: Failing to spend the measly amount of research funds since 2018-19 reflects many problems in Dhaka University - low-calibre research faculty; incompetence in research budgeting; inability to conceive and drive attractive research agendas; poor research incentives; etc.
From the next academic year, all public universities have to enrol students through a single admission test and the government will set up a separate authority to hold that exam.
A public university teacher will have to work 40 hours a week. Of this period, 13 hours must be spent on providing direct lessons to students on average.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has put some restrictions on celebrations of rag day which is held on the last day of classes amid different programmes and fanfare.
