BIAC organises country's first-ever online learning session on arbitration, mediation
Sixty-five students from different public and private universities participated in the programme
Governments around the world have resorted to complete or partial lockdowns with the spread of Covid-19 and they are encouraging people – especially students – to stay home.
So students are now staying under home quarantine and having less academic pressure.
"This is a great time to enrich our students' knowledge," and perhaps prepare them for professional advancement, said the Bangladesh International Arbitration Centre in a press briefing.
