UGC member Prof Dr Md Abu Taher spoke as the chief guest of a day-long workshop titled 'Implementation of Outcome Based Education' organized by UGC's Department of Strategic Planning and Quality Assurance on Wednesday.
Professor Abu Taher said, "Skilled human resources need to continue the trend of economic development. If the curriculum is formulated according to the needs, there will be a qualitative change in higher education. Care must be taken to ensure that the curriculum is life-oriented, produces skilled graduates and meets the needs of the Fourth Industrial Revolution."
He further said, "Universities need to formulate curriculum following outcome based education. If this is implemented, there will be a huge change in the curriculum at the higher education level. This will create new knowledge and diversify education. Graduates will be able to put their talents in a competitive world by acquiring job-appropriate skills. Students need to be given intensive care, skills and leadership qualities."
