Reports about the oral health awareness and oral hygiene practices of children in Bangladesh are insufficient. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the oral health awareness and practices of junior school children in Mathbaria upazila of Pirojpur District, Bangladesh. The study covered 150 children aged 5 to 12 years of age from three primary schools. The study reveals that the students have limited awareness about oral health and poor knowledge of oral hygiene habits. Oral health awareness and hygiene practices amongst the school going children was found to be very poor and create a much-needed niche for implementing school-based oral health awareness and education projects/programs.

Abstract: The website of a university is considered to be a virtual gateway to provide primary resources to its stakeholders. It can play an indispensable role in disseminating information about a university to a variety of audience at a time. Thus, the quality of an academic website requires special attention to fulfil the users’ need. This paper presents a multi-method approach of quality assessment of the academic websites, in the context of universities of Bangladesh. We developed an automated web-based tool that can evaluate any academic website based on three criteria, which are as follows: content of information, loading time and overall performance. Content of information contains many sub criteria, such as university vision and mission, faculty information, notice board and so on. This tool can also perform comparative analysis among several academic websites and Citation: Rashida, M.; Islam, K.; generate a ranked list of these.

  • Freemuse-Drik-PEN-International
    Joint submission to the mid-term Universal Periodic Review of Bangladesh by Freemuse, Drik, and PEN International 4 December 2020 Executive summary Freemuse, Drik, and PEN International welcome the opportunity to contribute to the mid-term review of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) on Bangladesh. This submission evaluates the implementation of recommendations made in the previous UPR and assesses the Bangladeshi authorities’ compliance with international human rights obligations with respect to freedoms of expression, information and peaceful assembly, in particular concerns related to: - Digital Security Act and Information and Communication Technology Act - Limitations on freedom of religion and belief - Restrictions to the right to peaceful assembly and political engagement - Attacks on artistic freedom and academic freedom As part of the third cycle UPR process in 2018, the Government of Bangladesh accepted 178 recommendations and noted 73 out of a total 251 recommendations received. This included some aimed at guaranteeing the rights to freedom of expression, information and peaceful assembly. However, a crackdown on freedom of expression has been intensified since the review and civil society, including artists and journalists, has faced adversity from authorities. These are in violation of Bangladesh’s national and international commitments to artistic freedom, specifically the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights which were ratified by the authorities in 2000 and 1998, respectively. This UPR mid-term review was compiled based on information from Freemuse, Drik and PEN International. 1 SECTION A Digital Security Act: a threat to freedom of expression Third Cycle UPR Recommendations The Government of Bangladesh accepted recommendations 147.67, 147.69, 147.70, 148.3, 148.13, 148.14, and 148.15 concerning the Information and Communication Technology Act and Digital Security Act.

  • Quality in Teaching-Learning Strategies: the Case Study of Khulna and Uttara Universities of Bangladesh
    Proceedings of 7th Global Business Research Conference 28-29 April 2017, BIAM Foundation, 63 Eskaton, Dhaka, Bangladesh ISBN: 978-1-925488-36-4 Quality in Teaching-Learning Strategies: The Case Study of Khulna and Uttara Universities of Bangladesh Muhammad Mahboob Ali ∗, Anita Medhekar ∗∗ and Vichayanan ∗∗∗ Rattanawiboonsom Government of Bangladesh has approved the ‘The Bangladesh Accreditation Council Act, 2017’ with an objective to ensuring standards of quality in higher education both at the public and private universities in the country. Along with being an internal assessor, Government will also act as an external assessor to change the structure of University Grant Commission (UGC). Government of Bangladesh has the goal and vision to have quality education at higher institutions by 2021, to enhance quality in teaching, learning and research. This exploratory research covers case studies of two programs, taught at the two universities, namely Uttara University and Khulna University in Bangladesh, by applying Bloom’s Taxonomy, Feisal-Schmitz Taxonomy and Kirkpatrick’s evaluation model. The paper suggests that under Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC), a regional body, may develop an educational framework, similar to Australian Qualifications Framework. As such, Government of Bangladesh may give proposal to the BIMSTEC for taking initiatives for regional cooperation in the education sector. The paper also highlights the role of International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE), International Association of universities (IAU), and European Association of Institutions in Higher Education (EURASHE) that may help higher educational institutions in Bangladesh and South Asia to improve quality by networking with national, regional and international educational institutions in the Asia-Pacific region.
