Nearly 2,700 education institutes remain closed

In Bangladesh, over 2,600 privately-run educational institutes have closed operations in the past two years, despite having the required approval from the government’s Secondary and Higher Education Division. The closures are attributed to a lack of students and financial viability, particularly for institutes opened without proper planning. Authorities are urged to revoke the approval of these defunct institutes and update the official records to reflect the true state of the education sector in the country.(photo/prothomalo)
