Staff Reporter:
Adviser to the interim government on the Ministries of Education and Planning Dr Wahiduddin Mahmud yesterday expressed his surprise as almost every teacher of a university wants to be the Vice Chancellor and Pro Vice Chancellor.
“Some 300, 400, to 500 university teachers want to become the VC and Pro VC … why?” he said.
Dr Mahmud, who is also the Planning Adviser, raised the question while briefing reporters about the outcomes of the ECNEC meeting held at the NEC conference room in the city’s Sher-e-Bangla Nagar area.
During his briefing, the adviser’s cell phone rang twice and subsequently on both occasions the phone was silenced by a Planning Commission member.
Apparently witnessing the number, he squeezed his eyebrows. “I can’t understand why all the teachers of the universities want to be the VC, I never wanted to be a VC,” he said.
He mentioned that hundreds of teachers wanted to be the VC and Pro VC. “They don’t want to teach in the class, I can’t understand why they don’t want to teach in the class,” he said.
