President Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has urged the country's higher education institutions to restructure their curricula with a sharp focus on world-class vocational, technical, and engineering education to build a skilled workforce capable of eliminating youth unemployment.
The President made these remarks on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, when a high-level delegation from Eastern University paid a courtesy call on him at Bangabhaban. Emphasizing modern technological shifts, President Mirza Fakhrul underscored that integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced digital tools into university academics is no longer optional if Bangladeshi graduates are to compete globally.
The delegation was led by Md. Ismail Zabiullah, Public Administration Advisor to the Prime Minister and Board of Trustees member, alongside Board Chairman Barrister Shafayet Mohammad Raju, Vice-Chancellor Prof. Dr. Farid Ahmad Sobhani, Founding Chairman Abul Kashem Haider, and Trustee Abul Khair Chowdhury. During the meeting, the delegation briefed the President on the university's academic achievements, including winning the national round of the Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition four times (including 2026) and disbursing over ৳100 crore in scholarships to underprivileged and meritorious students. The President accepted their invitation to preside as Chancellor over the university's upcoming convocation.
