The University Grants Commission on Thursday urged the vice-chancellors of all public and private universities in Bangladesh and protesting students to restore academic activities following the recent Appellate Division order.
The Appellate Division on Wednesday ordered status quo for four weeks on a High Court verdict that asked the government authorities to restore a 30 per cent quota for the descendants of freedom fighters while recruiting officers in the civil service.
Students across Bangladesh are now continuing movement for just reform of quota system in government jobs.
The Appellate Division, in its written order, asked the agitating students to return to their classrooms, directed all the heads of all educational institutions to take their students to classrooms from the streets and ensure a congenial atmosphere in all educational institutions.
The court suggested the agitating students to place their arguments about the quota through lawyers, and it would consider their arguments while disposing of pending petitions on the same issues.聽
Following this, the UGC on Thursday issued a notice for the vice-chancellors of all public and private universities for following the orders.
