Education and primary and mass education minister ANM Ehsanul Hoque Milon on Sunday said that the government has planned to establish universities at every constituency across the country.
While addressing a workshop as chief guest, he also said that tertiary level education was in a good state.
‘If we talk about tertiary education yes we have done well,’ he said, adding, ‘and we are looking for universities at every constituency.’
UNICEF organised the validation workshop on the Bangladesh Education Sector Analysis (ESA) of 2026 at a city hotel in the capital on the day.
At the workshop, Campaign for Popular Education executive director Rasheda K Choudhury was present as one of the special guests.
During her speech she said that wherever the prime minister Tarique Rahman goes, people are demanding public universities.
‘But during the last regime a lot of universities were established,’ she said. Rasheda suggested the education minister should go for a mapping before deciding to open more and more public universities.
Twenty-two public universities, many of which began academic activities over a decade ago, did not relocate to their permanent campuses till February this year.
