The Ministry of Education has directed the University Grants Commission (UGC) to take action against 16 private universities in the country for not shifting to permanent campuses within the stipulated time. The direction was given in a letter recently signed by Senior Assistant Secretary of the Ministry of Education ASM Kashem.

The letter said that even though the temporary permission of the universities has expired, they have not yet moved to their permanent campuses, which is a violation of Section 12(1) of the Private Universities Act, 2010.

The universities against which action is being taken include: People's University, University of Development Alternative, Stamford University, Millennium University, Presidency University, PrimeAsia University, Asha University, Sonargaon University, Bangladesh University of Health Sciences, North East University, Isha Khan International University, North Western University, Feni University, Britannia University, Port City University and Chittagong Independent University.

UGC member Professor Dr. Mohammad Anwar Hossain said that the process of implementing the instructions according to the law has begun.

It is worth noting that in 2023, the UGC ordered 18 universities to move to permanent campuses. Earlier, some universities had banned admissions for not moving within the stipulated time.
