Higher Education in Sweden @ Jonkoping University Seminar held Read the report published in the Daily Star Newspaper on 23 October 2013. Uniform education system necessary; Seminar told Staff Correspondent Speakers at a seminar yesterday emphasised a uniform education system in the country to achieve an international standard in the sector. They said such a system would be helpful for students hopeful for enrolment in higher studies at home and abroad. Due to the country’s different education systems, students are often ineligible to apply for their preferred subjects or programmes, they added. Gee Bangladesh, an education consultancy firm, organised the seminar “Higher Education in Sweden @Jonkoping University” at The Daily Star Centre in the capital. Chairing the seminar, Dr Prafulla Chandra Sarkar, vice chancellor of Prime University, said as many as 13 different education systems exist in Bangladesh at present. “So many systems do not reach the international standard and those create bars for the students in competing globally,” he said. Gee Bangladesh Chief Executive Officer Biplob Chandra Chakraborty said mathematics is essential for enrolment in undergraduate programmes in many reputed international institutions. “But in Bangladesh, students except those studying the sciences do not have the chance to take mathematics as a subject. This creates an obstacle for them to study abroad,” he said. Syed Naqvi, a business development manager at Jonkoping University, said the university, with a career and research oriented teaching methodology, invites Bangladeshi students every year. The university is offering 15 masters programmes on business, engineering, education and communications, and health science; 3 bachelor programmes on business and a diploma programme for international students at present, he said. Local students may follow the university’s online application system at universityadmissions.se or contact Gee Bangladesh for information. Dr Ashok Gupta of Stamford University Bangladesh, among others, spoke at the seminar. Published: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 thedailystar.net/beta2/news/uniform-education-system-necessary/
