Abstract

Based on the governance equalizer
tool of New Public Management (NPM) this paper examines the Higher Education of
Bangladesh as a common regulating scale of governance. The time frame is
divided into three periods: past, present and future covering ten years
timeline. Essentially review of literature and legislative documents are
utilized to analysis the overall situation of governance of higher education of
Bangladesh. The analysis reveals that dominant state regulation and high
academic self-governance accompanied by considerably low managerial self-governance,
stakeholder guidance and competition has been the traits of the past decades.
The initiation of National accreditation council in 2010 is one of the few
governance reforms of present time. Along with this the state regulation
remains same as it was before but there is a decrease of managerial self-governance.
The competition level among private universities increase recently and a unique
form of academic self-governance “political collegiality” has been developed
among the academic communities who directly or indirectly involves with
political group which can be mentioned as a negative development of governance
in the higher education sector of Bangladesh. On the other hand initiative of
National accreditation council is a positive development of the HE sector which
can help to create a healthy competitive environment among the universities in
near future.
