NU vice-chancellor Professor ASM Amanullah presided over the workshop.
Faiz said that the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology would work jointly with the National University on any technological initiative, including the use of automated methods, to publish the results of various examinations quickly.
Highlighting the various initiatives taken to develop students of National University-affiliated colleges as skilled human resources, Professor Amanullah said that the country was still lagging behind other contemporary countries due to lack of proper investment in education after independence.
鈥楾herefore, even if it is late, it is time to give importance to education,鈥� he noted.聽
He also said that after taking the initiative to formulate the curriculum of the ICT course, the results achieved so far with the overall support of the government鈥檚 A2I and UNICEF were very good.
