The education which is offered usually in the universities is called higher education. It is also known as tertiary education. There are two categories of educational institutions in Bangladesh who offer higher education; the public and private universities and colleges affiliated with the National University (NU).
At present, there are 37 public universities while there were only 4 public universities in 1971. Moreover, there are more than 79 private universities which are a relatively new phenomenon in our country. There are around 1,400 higher education providing colleges also. Public universities are the first choices of most students.
Dhaka University, Jahangirnagar University, Jagannath University are the most famous public universities in Bangladesh. The students hardly try to admit there.
Public universities offer a wide range of subjects in arts, Science, Commerce, Engineering etc. They provide better library, laboratory and research facilities to help the young knowledge seekers. Residential and boarding facilities are also available in public universities. But there are only handful universities in our country. Those are not enough.
Many students cannot get higher education form these public universities due to the lack of capacity. Every year a large number of students pass higher secondary level. Most of them are poor and cannot get access to higher education due to poverty and increasing educational expenses. This problem may be impossible to solve overnight but it can be lessen gradually. The number of universities must be increased in this regard. The poor students should have the accessibility like others.
Moreover, the facilities of educational sectors should be increased and upgraded. The govt. should take the responsibility steps to solve the problems. Besides, we all should be aware of this.
