Asian University for Women
starts functioning
Staff Correspondent . Chittagong
The academic functioning of the Asian University for Women was inaugurated
with 131 students from seven countries at the Theatre Institute, Chittagong
on Saturday.
Former adviser to the caretaker government Rokiya Afzal Rahman
inaugurated the activities of the university, where 3,000 students from 12
South and Southeast Asian countries will receive higher education.
The Asian University for Women Support Foundation, which is incorporated
as a non-profit organisation based in the United States, serves as the
principal planning and fundraising organisation for the university.
The chair of the AUW Support Foundation, Jack R Meyer, vice-chancellor
Nancy S Dye, executive directors Regina Papa and Dil Afroz Quader, chief
executive Kamal Ahmad and former education minister Osman Farruk spoke.
The speakers said the university would play a significant role in
providing quality, higher education for the meritorious, financially
insolvent students of South and Southeast Asian courtiers, including
Bangladesh.
'The university will turn into a hub of exercising multiple cultures,
languages and values,' Rokiya Afzal said, adding that the establishment of
the university was an extraordinary opportunity for Bangladesh.
Nancy Dye said they would conduct a 16-month access academy course for
the 131 who had initially been admitted to the university to enable them to
study in a university of international standards.
'Twelve teachers trained at the International Development Centre of
Harvard University will conduct the course,' she said, adding that the
students would choose their subjects on completion of the course.
Students at the university will begin a three-year bachelor's course in
the liberal arts and sciences. Fields of study will include mathematics,
natural and physical sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities,
including philosophy, literature and languages.
The three-year course will be followed by two years of specialised
professional training from a selection of five course offerings: public
policy, education, management, environmental engineering, and computer
science.
The university will also be offering the access academy pre-collegiate
bridge course, designed to enable students, lacking adequate secondary
school training, to acquire the requisite preparation to pursue a rigorous
university education.
The activities of the university will be conducted in a 10-storey rented
house on MM Ali Road in the city until its own campus on 200 acres of land
at Salimpur is completed.
The master plan of the campus has been designed by internationally
renowned architectural firm Moshe Safdie and Associates.
The Anglo American Cooperation chairman, Mark Moody Stuart, also a member
of the boards of Saudi ARAMCO, HSBC Bank and the consulting firm of
Accenture, and his wife, Lady Moody-Stuart, vice-chair of the board of the
Asian University for Women Support Foundation, arrived in Dhaka on Saturday
and attended the welcome ceremony for the students of the university in
Chittagong.
They have also endowed a scholarship for a student from Palestine to
attend the university.
