OP-ED: What are the universities doing?
Why we need to restructure higher education Get a good CGPA, get a good job, get a promotion, become self-dependent to an extent so your family can depend on you -- that’s the dream for a majority of Bangladeshi students. We can’t deny we live in a country of soaring unemployment. For the students who choose to study in private universities and are dependent on their families for a stable source of payment, families often make big financial sacrifices, from selling land to taking loans. From both logical and effusive points of view, let’s admit it: The university plays the most substantial role because of the circumstances, and yes, they are to be blamed.This would have been different in a country where we received state benefits for unemployment, but the sad reality is that the unemployed people out there are not entitled to benefits or any social security support.
