The vice-chancellor of National University, ASM Amanullah, said a change in Information and Technology - ICT syllabus could drastically boost the current remittance inflow to Bangladesh, says a press release.
He made the remark at the freshers鈥� reception programme organised by the Institute of Science & Technology in Dhaka on Monday.
Amanullah said if a short and mandatory ICT syllabus could be introduced in the existing NU syllabus, the remittance flow from the expatriates and onshore freelancing to the country would increase up to 100 billion US dollars in just 10 years.
He further added that if the present syllabus was reformed in public universities, including NU, it would be very likely to create huge skilled manpower within the country.
The NU VC said, steps, including seeking cooperation and know-how from foreign universities were being made by NU to bring timely changes in its ICT syllabus.
Amanullah said that he recently had a bilateral meeting with the Technical Board in London regarding this.
