Higher education leaders must prioritize national development over personal gain, University Grants Commission Chairman Professor SMA Faiz declared Sunday. The educator addressed participants at a curriculum development workshop focused on social and behavioral change programs. UGC partnered with UNICEF to host the event at commission headquarters. Thirty-three university faculty members from public and private institutions attended the session.

Faiz acknowledged student talent while expressing concern about underutilized potential following July protests. Faculty members often place self-interest ahead of student welfare, he observed. Educational institutions require stronger student-centered approaches and improved teacher-student relationships. The chairman emphasized creating more supportive academic environments for learners.

Commission members stressed adapting social behavioral change curricula to reflect Bangladesh's cultural context. Virtual society increasingly influences daily life patterns among citizens. The project has produced twelve course curricula and established research repositories. Universities need flexibility to implement programs matching their specific requirements and community engagement goals.
