Parliament on Sunday passed 'Public University Teachers (Retirement) (Special Act) Bill-2012' into law by fixing a general retirement age-limit of 65 years for teachers of all public universities.
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid raised the bill on the concluding day of the ongoing Parliament session on Sunday.
The bill was passed by voice vote as the opposition lawmakers' demands for bringing amendments to the bill, seeking people's opinion on it and sending the bill to a committee for scrutiny were cancelled.
The bill was tabled in parliament on Jun 25.
The new law lays down that all public university teachers will now on retire after completion of 65 years of age.
The country has 33 public universities currently.
"The retirement age for teachers at Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi and Jahangirnagar Universities is 65 years, while it's 60 years for the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology and other public universities. So, the proposal to raise the retirement age bar to 65 years for all university teachers is logical."
On May 18, Vice Chancellors of different public universities had a meeting with the President at Bangabhaban with the proposal to fix a general retirement age of 65 years. The President had consented to their proposal.
