Why they are less valued in the job market?

A study by the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies found that graduates from national universities lag behind in the job market. They say 6 percent of them are unemployed

National University Vice-Chancellor Prof. Dr. questioned the validity of this study. "But we need to improve the quality of education," said Mashiur Rahman. We need to go further and academics say that the quality of education in national universities is not as good as in other public and private universities. However, there are many more reasons why employers think from their general perception that their quality is bad so they are underestimated. "

 

The survey was conducted on mobile phones among 1,839 students who passed Honors and Masters in 2017 from 54 public and private colleges under BIDS National University, 202 heads of educational institutions and 233 employees. According to the survey, one per cent graduates who are unemployed, two per cent who have passed from Business Administration, those who have got jobs, their average salary is Rs.

 

The survey blamed the quality of education at national universities for the situation I was asked to make more efficient.

 

Under the National University, there are now 2,200 affiliated colleges and educational institutions with about 29 lakh students, of which 29 are government colleges. The number of government and private colleges is 556. Action will be taken in this regard after receiving the report of the committee

 

Educationist Dr. Mohammad Kaikobad thinks, "Quality is one of the main reasons why national university graduates get so few jobs." But for that we need good teachers, infrastructure and environment for those who cannot come to the city. They have less financial capacity to study Honors in a rural college. Similarly, government investment in these colleges is less. There are. "

 

However, not only the quality, but also the conventional ideas of the employers are responsible for this, said the former director of the Education and Research Institute of Dhaka University. Siddiqur Rahman 6 "Employers generally think that the quality of students who have graduated from a university or other public university is better than those who have graduated from a national university".

 

He said, “It is also true that 7 of the college teachers teach at the national university, meanwhile the managing committee has a lot of sympathy for the recruitment of teachers in private colleges.

 

Another reason, he said, is that "those who get the best results in SSC and HSC are admitted to good universities." Many of those admitted to national universities do not have good university qualifications. "

 

National University Vice-Chancellor Professor Mashiur Rahman expressed doubts about the BIDS survey methodology and results, saying "mobile phone surveys do not cover the informal sector". And how realistic images can be found in mobile phone surveys "

 

According to him, "the students of this university take responsibility for their studies as well as their families." The way the results of the survey have been published without highlighting that aspect of his struggle can create inferiority among them. "

 

However, he said, "the national university has to go a long way." Quality needs to be improved. Investment needs to be increased. Many of my teachers are not paid. "

 

"There is a systemic problem with the survey," said Minhaj Mahmood, the survey's coordinator. There was no survey of those working in the informal sector. However, we found that in order to improve the situation, their curriculum needed to be based on job needs. Various trainings including ICT should be added. Has experience in various fields including. "
