The University Grants Commission (UGC) has taken an initiative to preserve actual information of university research.
The lack of a storage system of such information has been an obstacle for the country’s universities in achieving desired positions in the world rankings.
This initiative will be helpful to meet the UN announced Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
UGC and the government officials said these during a virtual event on Monday on higher education and research.
The meeting was attended by officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology, Department of Secondary and Higher Education, Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, Bangladesh Bureau of Educational Information and Statistics (BANBEIS) and SDG Tracker of UGC.
Director of Strategic Planning and Quality Assurance at UGC Dr Fakhrul Islam moderated while UGC Member Professor Biswajit Chanda presided over the virtual event.
