Over 400 students and teachers from across Bangladesh attended a specialist online training session organised by Universal College Bangladesh and Monash College Australia on Friday.
Students from grades 8 to 12 and their teachers joined the free session. Participants of the event titled “Effective problem solving: Excelling in Tests” also received certificates of participation from the organisers.
Australian High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Jeremy Bruer, spoke as the chief guest at the event. He talked about how Australian higher educational institutions – some of which are counted amongst the world’s top 100, including Monash University – are amongst the top choices for Bangladeshi students. He also talked about how Australia as a nation is very warm and welcoming to these students, and in many cases, providing a career path too.
Subsequently, Professor Andrew Walker, Pro-Vice-Chancellor and President, Monash University Malaysia, and Jo Mithen, Chief Executive Officer, Monash College Australia, along with Zarif Munir, Managing Director at Boston Consulting Group Malaysia and Director at Universal College Bangladesh (UCB), spoke in detail about Universal College Bangladesh’s association with Monash College.
They discussed the ways Bangladeshi students will significantly benefit from the curriculum, course delivery and learning outcomes at Universal College Bangladesh, which are aligned to the global Monash College standards.
The student training session was led by four Monash College trainers, including Kathleen O’Brien, Dr Mohan Nair, Harry Floros, and Carlyn Setia. The training provided deep insights on developing key problem-solving skills for students and the methods to improve performance in tests. Being highly interactive, the session saw many interesting questions coming from the audience.
UCB is the exclusive partner of Monash College Australia and the only Ministry of Education-approved international education provider in Bangladesh. Monash College is fully owned by Monash University, a world top 100 ranked university.
