Bangladesh bank governor underscores role of teachers

Bangladesh Bank Governor Dr Ahsan H Mansur has emphasised the vital role of competent teachers in shaping a prosperous nation.
Speaking as the chief guest at a certificate awarding ceremony for East West University's (EWU) Teachers' Training Programme, Dr Mansur said that educators are uniquely placed to cultivate skilled and responsible citizens.
The event, held on August 25 at the Nousher Ali Lecture Gallery, marked the completion of training on teaching, learning, and research. "Teachers are crucial national assets whose knowledge and wisdom can be called upon to address the country's needs," Dr Mansur said.
The ceremony was chaired by Professor Dr Mohammed Farashuddin, Chairperson of the EWU Board of Trustees and former Governor of the Bangladesh Bank. In his remarks, Dr Farashuddin praised Bangladesh Bank's management under Dr Mansur's leadership. He expressed hope that the current governor would be able to introduce an independent pay scale for bank employees and secure a constitutionally recognised position for the post of governor.
Among other distinguished guests were EWU Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Shams Rahman, Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr M Ashik Mosaddik, and Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) Director Professor Dr. Sufia Islam, who also addressed the ceremony.
Certificates were awarded to 34 faculty members who completed training designed to enhance their teaching, learning, and research skills. A large number of EWU faculty and officials attended the event. The programme was a joint initiative of IQAC and the EWU Centre for Research and Training (EWUCRT).
