As the University of Dhaka marked its centenary in 2021, ‘University of Dhaka: Making Unmaking Remaking’ became the first substantial contribution to the question of how the institution should be reformed. Edited by Iftekhar Iqbal and Imtiaz Ahmed, it gathers educators and scholars, young and senior, to identify the fundamental challenges the country’s premier university faces.
The contributors do not stop at diagnosis: each chapter looks at how the university might recover its academic standing at home and abroad. Published by Prothoma Prokashon, the volume speaks to policymakers, higher-education specialists, academics and students, and to anyone who cares about the future of public universities in Bangladesh.
