Education Minister Dr. A N M Ehsanul Haque Milan has directed the University Grants Commission (UGC) to expedite the implementation of the ongoing Higher Education Acceleration and Transformation (HEAT) project. He issued the directive on Thursday while addressing the mid-term review workshop of the project at the UGC building. The minister emphasized that the project is vital for improving the quality of higher education and called for ensuring proper use of allocated funds.
Dr. Milan noted that some components of the project are no longer relevant and instructed that the Development Project Proposal (DPP) be revised to align with current government priorities in higher education. He expressed concern that only 5 percent of the project has been completed, with two years remaining, and urged immediate acceleration to meet the 2028 completion target. He also stressed cost efficiency and adherence to the Prime Minister’s directive to rationalize development spending.
UGC Chairman Professor Dr. Mamun Ahmed said the project would be completed within the scheduled time despite a delayed start, emphasizing that achieving objectives is more important than merely spending funds.
