Higher Education in the 21st. Century Bangladesh
The UNESCO World Conference on Higher Education, held in Paris in 1998, recognized quite emphatically the importance of education and particularlyly higher education for sustainable endogenous development, for democracy and peace, for strengthening defense of peace as one of the human values, and for the respect and protection of human rights and fundamental freedom. The far reaching changes now taking place in the world and the entry of human values into a society based on knowledge and information, reveal how overwhelmingly important education and higher education are.( UNESCO 2001, p.1). A renewal of higher education is essential for the whole society to be able to face up to the challenges of the twenty-first century and to ensure its intellectual independence. Quality higher education needs to be restored to create and advance knowledge, educate and train responsible, enlightened citizens and qualified specialists, without whom no nation can progress economically, socially, culturally or politically.The Global scenario of socio-economic development is changing while knowledge supplants physical capital as the source of present (and future) wealth. Technology is the driving force behind this process. Information technology, biotechnology and other innovations are leading to remarkable changes in the way we like to work. As knowledge becomes increasingly important, so does higher education. Countries need to educate more of their young people to reach a global standard. The quality of knowledge generated within higher educational institutions and its accountability to the wider economy is becoming increasingly critical for national competitiveness.
