Twenty-six institutions running the HSC (BMT) curriculum under the Bangladesh Technical Education Board have not enrolled students for the past three years. The board has issued a reminder asking why their approval should not be cancelled.
The reminder was issued by the Technical Education Board on Monday, 19 October.
It says the conditions of an institution’s teaching approval state that approval will be cancelled if it enrols no students for three years in a row.
In addition, under rule 5.4 of the 2020 policy on teaching approval and recognition for private technical institutions running the HSC (BMT) curriculum under the board, the board may, with government approval, cancel an institution’s permission to teach if within the set time it fails to meet requirements on results, infrastructure, appointment of teachers and staff, management committee, furniture, equipment, library, the conditions imposed when permission was granted and other applicable conditions.
On 20 September the 26 institutions that had not enrolled students for three years in a row were given notice to explain by 1 October why admissions should not be suspended from the 2027-28 academic year and their teaching approval cancelled or withdrawn. On 4 October a second notice was posted on the website asking for an explanation within seven working days. Some institutions gave no explanation.
The board’s notice asks institutions that have still not explained to do so within the next seven working days.
