Commencement of the WTO regime along with the incredible advancements of information & communication technology (ICT) and the Internet had brought forth diversified opportunities and challenges especially for the developing countries of the world. In a response to the changing landscape of knowledge and education, the then government of Bangladesh, during the 1990s, had revised its education policy to privatise tertiary education in order to make-up the supply deficit of skilled manpower in the country. And the concomitant shift in government’s education policy, which came into effect with the enactment of the Private University Act (PUA)-1992 (later repealed by the PUA-2010), had resulted in mushrooming of private universities in the country with majority being positioned in the capital Dhaka.
During that period, there was only one state-funded university for the vast population of Sylhet—the north-eastern administrative division of the country. Due to its limited capacity that lone university could not accommodate all the aspirant students into its undergraduate and Master’s programmes as a result of which students from the economically solvent families had either been going abroad or to the private universities in Dhaka to pursue tertiary education. But the high costs of overseas education and the exorbitant fee structures of the then Dhaka-based private universities had left majority of the students of Sylhet region outside the purview of the then-existing tertiary education system.
