The leadership training programme for the next batch of university students will begin on November 15 in three batches, according to a decision of the Higher Education Ministry.

The Ministry plans to accommodate 9000 students in each batch to be trained at tri-forces and police camps.

In order to avoid any future problems over the training programme, it had decided to obtain the opinion of the Attorney General’s Department prior to embarking on the latest exercise, a senior official of the Ministry said.

Following the Z-score fiasco, the Supreme Court ordered the University Grants Commission to admit additional students to the universities with the next intake so that no student would be victimized by it and because of the additional students the Ministry has been forced to divide the training into three batches.
