Government mulls to formulate policy aligning different academic qualifications: Deputy Minister 

Deputy Education Minister Mohibul Hassan Chowdhoury MP on Wednesday said the government is planning to formulate "Bangladesh Qualification Framework" to align the English medium qualifications, technical qualifications with the regular academic qualifications in the country. 

He expressed hope to work with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) in this regard, said a press release.

Chartered Accountants may engage in academic deliberations in classroom of universities so that students can get in-depth knowledge in the subject covering technical aspects," he said.
