Digitization of higher education in Bangladesh

Zuzanna Quality Education

Due to the poor online learning management system in Bangladesh, many universities had been closed since the beginning of 2020. However, the country\'s University Grants Commission (UGC) rose to the challenge and introduced policies requiring all universities to go digital, to make teaching and learning activities accessible online-including admissions, and within four months digitization of universities was widespread. Up to this day, an average of around 3,800 classes is held online daily with more than 220,000 students in attendance.  Thus far, a total of around 203,200 classes have been conducted to more than 9.2 million attendees by 10,200 faculty members. 147 out of 153 universities in Bangladesh went online. Nevertheless, many students from rural areas have been struggling with finding the right place to work, after returning home. The Bangladesh Research and Education Network (BdREN), which sponsored digitization of universities, will now work to support such students.
