Today’s pledge is to make ours a learning society”, said Dr. Dipu Moni MP, the Hon’ble Minister of Education of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh. She was inaugurating on 22 February, 2019, the International Conference entitled “Lifelong Learning in the Developing Countries with special reference to Bangladesh” as the Chief Guest. The conference was organized by the Bangladesh Institute of Lifelong Learning of Dhaka Ahsania Mission and was held at Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology, Tejgaon, Dhaka during 22-23 February, 2019. “In this concept, each member of the Society learns throughout life -- in schools, colleges and universities, and in the working and non-working life, even during leisure through informal ways”, she added.

Decolonizing the university : the challenge of deep cognitive justice [book review] Abstract: The University is at a crossroads. It has been resistant to social change throughout its different histories in different parts of the world. Yet it has also changed considerably over the years. It has been subject to influence from both internal and external forces and continues to be so today, also being a site of conflict as with any other institution. I would argue that it is caught up in the struggle for hegemony, certainly in Western countries, but also beyond. This brings to the fore interesting subversive practices which are part and parcel of the struggle for renegotiation of relations of hegemony. I would also argue that the widely diffused models of universities are those reflecting the interests of hegemonic forces which are often at odds with the interests of subaltern groups or nations some of whom, at various historical times, sought to decolonise in particular ways – Julius Nyerere’s speeches and policies, for the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, come to mind. People in western and non-western parts of the globe seek to reimagine and provide signposts for re-negotiating hegemonic university relations through subversive practices both within and outside the precincts of the established universities. In the latter case, they do so through the emergence of alternative spaces and institutions with subaltern interests at heart. In the former case, they engage in action ‘in and against’ established institutions. The alternative spaces can be sporadic (e.g. sitins and sit-outs, occupy movements with alternative libraries and tent learning) or of longer duration (e.g. the Cooperative University network in the UK).
