Higher education has the direct impact on socio-economic development of a country. Higher education through the creation of human capital may promote prosperity in the peripheral nation. University is not only a place of academic excellence rather it is also a center of change and development. The private universities of Bangladesh are very weak. In practice, these private universities could not contribute significantly to the human resource development of the country. The main objective of the paper is to highlight on the issues that are directly related to the emergence of higher education in private sector. The present state of tertiary level education provided by private universities is also outlined. Teaching methods and design used by the private universities are also discussed. Some recommendations are suggested to help solve the problems of private universities. The authors were highly selective to keep the length of paper within limited bound.Downloads
