DHAKA, Nov 22, 2025 (BSS) - Primary and Mass Education Adviser Professor Dr.
Bidhan Ranjan Roy Podder today said the government wants to establish Bangla
as the language of higher study.
He said this while presiding over the third convocation of Prime University
at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Center in the capital.
The adviser said obtaining a degree alone is not enough, acquiring
appropriate skills and competence is the key to the country's development.
"We must remember that although we pursue higher education, we do not have
employment opportunities. We pursue higher education, yet we are not becoming
skilled or entrepreneurial. As a result, the economic impact and the progress
that the country was supposed to achieve are not happening," he said.
Emphasizing that technological advancement is incomplete without human
capability, he said, adding, "No matter how much technical progress we make,
if human development does not happen in that direction, we will never be able
to lead our country toward progress."
Highlighting human resources as the main driving force behind national
development, the primary and mass education advisor said, "A country may have
many types of resources for development but we have only one significant
resource-- our people."
Congratulating the graduates, the advisor said, "I hope you will dedicate
yourselves to serving society and the nation with your acquired knowledge,
wisdom, and ethical values."
Professor Dr. M. Shamsul Alam delivered the special convocation address while
Prime University Vice-Chancellor (VC) Prof Dr Quazi Deen Mohd Khosru and
Chairman of the Board of Trustees Anwar Kamal Pasha were present, among
others.
A total of 1,870 graduates participated in the convocation.
