President for Linking Education System to Int'l Job Market

BUP 3rd convocation held

President Abdul Hamid on January 21, 2016 underscored the need for taking up education programs in line with the international job market's demand.

"In the age of globalization, the importance of skilled manpower is increasing day by day for survival. We'll have to chalk out education plans in line with the international job market [demand] and our students will have to be educated with profession-based traditional and non-traditional education", he said.

The President said this while addressing the 3rd Convocation of Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) on its campus in the city. At the convocation, a total of 835 students received degrees while 14 got gold medals for their outstanding academic results.

Stressing the need for turning students into skilled human resources for the country's sustainable development, President Hamid, also the BUP Chancellor, said quality education is needed not only for economic development, but also for developing non-communal spirit and sense of patriotism among students.

Bangladesh has many elements to accelerate growth, said Abdul Hamid adding, "As the 21st century is the 'Century of Asia', Bangladesh will be able to remain as an advanced passenger on the development highway if it can use its potentials properly."

Pointing at the graduates, the chancellor said, "Today's convocation is giving recognition to your achievement and on the other hand it is bestowing responsibilities on you and these responsibilities are towards your family, society, above all towards the country and nation."

Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Haque and BUP VC Major General Sheikh Mamun Khaled also spoke on the occasion while University Grants Commission Chairman Prof Abdul Mannan delivered the convocation speech.
