A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between the Bangladesh Open University (BOU) and the Pabna University of Science and Technology (PUST) aimed at promoting mutual collaboration and cooperation in research and academic programmes.
The MoU will also cover sharing of resources and opportunities of the both universities to let the students improve their quality which will ultimately expand their knowledge in educational research.
The MoU was signed on Thursday at a function, chaired by Eminent geologist and natural hazard researcher and BOU Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr Syed Humayun Akhter at BOU’s conference hall. BOU register Dr Mohammad Shafiqul Alam and PUST register Bijon Kumar Brahma signed the MoU on behalf of their respective universities.
BOU VC Professor Dr Syed Humayun said that by the experience and sharing of resources of both institutions as well as by the use of BOU's media, ICT unit, virtual and online classrooms, the students will be able to improve their quality and expand their knowledge in the field of educational research.
It is possible to reach the goal through mutual coordination, compromise, partnership, avoiding the path of single-mindedness, said Humayun, adding, Bangladesh Open University has been working to contribute in building Smart Bangladesh using this vow.
