Seminar on Cross Border Higher Education Held at British Council

On Monday, September 07, 2009 a special seminar on Cross Border Higher Education (CBHE) was held at the British Council Auditorium. The Chief Guest of the Seminar was Mr. Peter Ashton, the Deputy Director of British Council Dhaka, where Mr. Mohammad Nuruzzaman, the Executive Director of Daffodil Institute of IT presented the main speech of the seminar. Mr. Khaled Sohel, Deputy Director of Daffodil Institute of IT (DIIT) gave the welcome speech at the beginning of the seminar. The chief guest of the seminar highlighted on the pros and cons of Cross Border Higher Education (CBHE) and its importance in the world job market. It’s a common dream in most of the Bangladeshi students to get higher degrees from reputed universities of Europe, America & Australia. But their dreams rarely turn into reality for the higher cost and improper counseling. Observing the immense desire of the students, a number of Study Abroad Counseling Centers have been established and publishing advertisements in the different media every day. As a result of this misguiding advertisements and improper counseling of those organizations most of these students are deprived, get frustrated and lost their valuable money in all of this inconsistency. The seminar was organized to give detailed guidelines to those students who have interest for CBHE for their further career.
