本文探讨并讨论了孟加拉国私立大学高等教育 (HE) 的现有作用、地位和质量。主要调查结果表明，私营高等教育部门将教育视为商业产品而不是公共产品。知识是公共财产。但民办高等教育企业家认为，教育市场将决定民办高等教育是否提供优质、划时代的教育。他们相信，越来越多的学生在私营部门就读表明该部门的做法是正确的。如今，出于多种原因，公共政策的巨大责任是不可接受的。此外，越来越多的学生本质上并不能证明事情正在朝着正确的方向发展；商业政策或某种程度的误导性信息可能会暂时增加入学人数。这一发现也证实了公立和私立教育本质上是不同的，因此公共系统的治理和监管机制设置不适合私立教育。 私有系统需要适合其性质和功能的不同类型的设置。本文提出了针对该国社会和经济背景改善优质教育的行动计划，确保私营高等教育部门的良好治理和监管控制。 This paper argued that there is a need of a new method for monitoring the implementation, reviewing the pursuance at regular intervals to ensure quality assurance for the private HE in Bangladesh.

This article examines and discusses the existing role, status and quality of Higher Education (HE) imparted in the Private Universities in Bangladesh. The major findings assert that private HE sector considers education as business goods rather public goods. Knowledge is a public property. But, entrepreneurs of private institution of higher education believe that bazaar of education will determine whether private HE sector is providing a quality and epoch-making education. It is their belief that the increasing number of students enrolling with the private sector demonstrates that this sector is doing right. These days, the huge responsibility of public policy is not acceptable for many reasons. Moreover, an increasing number of students do not essentially demonstrate that things are moving in the right direction; a business policy or some degree of misleading information may increase enrolment temporarily. This finding also confirms that in nature public and private education differs from each other so governance and regulatory mechanism setup for public system is not suited to private provision. Private system requires a different kind of setup applicable to its nature and function. This paper recommends action plans for improvement of quality education for the social and economic backdrop of the country ensuring a decent governance and regulatory control with private HE sector. This paper argued that there is a need of a new method for monitoring the implementation, reviewing the pursuance at regular intervals to ensure quality assurance for the private HE in Bangladesh.
Key words: Higher education, national development, private university, quality assurance, governance and regulatory control.
