National University vice-chancellor Professor ASM Amanullah on Thursday at a programme at the Senate Hall of the NU in Gazipur sought cooperation from the teachers in establishing the university as a brand in 2025.

He made the remark at the certificates and tabs distribution ceremony to the undergraduate and postgraduate subject-based teacher trainees from 33 to 36 batches of affiliated colleges under the NU under the College Education Development Project, said a press release on Friday.


‘I seek cooperation in establishing the National University as a brand in 2025 by increasing the attendance rate of students in classes, bringing assignments and in-courses under monitoring, training teachers and ensuring the presence of adequate reference books in college libraries,’ he said.

Attending the programme as chief guest, he also said that even after 53 years of independence, the quality of life of teachers in the country had not improved. ‘You have devoted yourselves to the teaching profession by leaving many professions for the sake of ethics, society and the country.’

He said, ‘We do not believe in earning a degree by studying only traditional subjects, so every student must acquire ICT, soft skills and hard skills education along with undergraduate and postgraduate courses in colleges affiliated to the National University.’

He also believed that the NU teachers would play a leading role in achieving the goal.

‘In providing quality education, training for teachers, journal publishing system, creating research opportunities, good classrooms, sound systems and internet facilities for students are very important,’ he added, assuring that the NU authorities would provide all-round cooperation in creating all these facilities.

He further said that the exams that were stopped at the university in 2025 will be organised at a fast pace so that the session jam was under control by about 80 per cent by November-December.

Pro-VC of the university, Professor Md Nurul Islam, delivered a speech as special guest at the event, which was moderated by Salma Parveen, acting director of the Teacher Training Department of the National University.
