Bangladesh University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman Professor Dr. Mamun Ahmed has directed the initiation of a national-level integrated survey to determine the actual manpower demand across various sectors. He issued the directive on Thursday during a meeting at the Higher Education Acceleration and Transformation (HEAT) project office in the Copyright Building, Dhaka. The chairman emphasized that higher education should prepare students for the job market, but a lack of reliable data on sectoral skill needs and graduate output has created a gap between universities and industries.
Dr. Ahmed stated that the revised HEAT project proposal should include the manpower demand survey to bridge this gap, while also stressing transparency and efficiency in project expenditures. He advised against purchasing duplicate scientific equipment without verification and suggested a separate study to prevent waste in research spending. The chairman also called for the establishment of a modern university teacher training academy under the HEAT project and urged stronger academic engagement between teachers and students.
Officials present at the meeting noted that the proposed survey could help identify skill mismatches between higher education and the job market, aiding future policy formulation.
