Dhaka, May 24 (UNB) – Dhaka University students are losing interest in acquiring knowledge due to the fall of standard in its education and growing unemployment, said its Professor Emeritus Dr Serajul Islam Choudhury on Friday.
“The standard of education [in DU] is falling fast. These days students are busy preparing themselves for public recruitment tests, including Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS), rather than acquiring knowledge,” he said.
Prof Serajul Islam, a literary critic and social and political analyst, said this while addressing a seminar at Teacher-Student Centre of the university organised by Dhaka University Journalists' Association (Duja).
Stressing the importance of research, the renowned academician also called for abolishing the traditional system of science, arts and commerce, and making it more knowledge-oriented one.
