Saudi univ to recruit 40

With the selection of 40 already completed, the foreign adviser, Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury, said Monday Saudi universities were willing to recruit far more Bangladeshi teachers.
The foreign adviser, also in charge of the ministry of expatriates’ welfare and overseas employment, said this following a meeting in his office with Ali Mohammed Mussa Tobeigi of Jazan University in Saudi Arabia and Firoz Mahmood, a Bangladeshi English teacher in that country.
Tobeigi informed the foreign adviser that the selection of 40 teachers had already been completed for recruitment to Jazan University through BOESL. Sixty more would follow suit.
‘This is exactly in line with our policy. Bangladeshi academics have made a good name for themselves in Saudi Arabia. New Universities are being opened there,’ Iftekhar said.
