The Bangladesh government has decided to warn students and their guardians of the fact that private universities' open outer campuses in the guise of regional resource centers, study centers, etc. The ministry has come to know that students who take admission in those unapproved local universities are frequently cheated. Actually, there are 51 private universities in Bangladesh which were run according to the Private University Act 1992, as amended in 1998.

"Red-tapeism" and corruption have crippled 54 education programs in Bangladesh, forcing the government to shut down an ambitious US $150 million Total Literacy Movement (TLM) program aimed at achieving hundred percent literacy by the year 2005.
