July 26th: Protests against fee hikes in Chittagong and additional taxes on tuition fees in Dhaka (Bangladesh)

About 2000 students took to the streets of Dhaka (Bangladesh), mostly from private universities (e.g. North South University, East West University, American International University of Bangladesh, Brac University and Dhaka International University), to protest against the governments decision to charge a Value Added Tax (VAT) of 4.5% to the tuition fees. In Bangladesh about 23% of students attend private universities. But keep in mind that by far not all are students who would want to study.
