Students from Dhaka’s seven government colleges staged demonstrations on Sunday, blocking the Shikkhabhaban and Shahbagh intersections to protest delays in establishing the proposed ‘Dhaka Central University’. The protest began around 11:30 a.m. with a march that disrupted traffic on one of the capital’s busiest roads. Students demanded immediate issuance of the university ordinance, which they say has been pending for months without visible progress. According to organizers, the draft ordinance’s proposed ‘schooling model’ could jeopardize the autonomy of higher secondary education and create identity and academic uncertainties for nearly 150,000 students. Despite the Education Ministry’s earlier statement confirming a policy decision to merge the seven colleges under a new public university, students claim no concrete steps have followed. The ministry urged students to avoid misinformation and act responsibly. Observers note that the prolonged delay risks deepening student frustration and disrupting academic schedules. Further negotiations between student representatives and the ministry are expected in the coming days to resolve the impasse.
