He added that the action was meant to set an example for other institutions. “We will take action against institutions that continue to show poor academic performance,” he said.
Board chairman Professor Md. Samsul Islam said the suspension is temporary. He explained that the colleges can resume academic activities if they meet the board’s conditions.
Education officials said the institutions must improve teaching standards and meet operational requirements before recognition is restored.
