Reforming the Education System in Bangladesh: Reckoning a Knowledge-Based Society

Reazul Haque3 1Ministry of Primary and Mass Education, Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, Bangladesh 2Unnayan Onneshan-A Center for Research and Action on Development based in Dhaka, Bangladesh 3Department of Development Studies, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh *Corresponding author: Unnayan Onneshan, 16/2, Indira Road, Farmgate, Dhaka-1215, Bangladesh. Tel: 880-172-505-2815. E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 15, 2014 Accepted: June 3, 2014 Online Published: June 25, 2014 doi:10.5430/wje.v4n4p1 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5430/wje.v4n4p1 Abstract Education renders people with certain capabilities that prepare them to contribute to the social and economic development of the nation. Such capabilities turn them into human capital which, according to development economists, raises productivity when increased. Following an exhaustive review of literature on education research, this paper, however, aims at exploring the effectiveness of Bangladesh’s present education system in delivering quality education as well as reckoning the prospect of establishing a knowledge-based society in the nation. This paper, being qualitative in nature, reveals that the nation has achieved an exemplary success in primary education as regards increased enrolment rate, while the enrolment rate is not satisfactory in secondary schooling and the tertiary education is expanding. However, the quality of education imparted at all the primary, secondary and tertiary levels is not up to the mark to create a strong human capital and reckon the prospect of knowledge-based society in the country. -
Expanding Access to Education in Bangladesh1
Expanding Access to Education in Bangladesh1 Naomi Hossain Widespread poverty and biases against women and girls make Bangladesh an unlikely setting for groundbreaking achievements in education for girls and the poor. Yet Bangladesh has succeeded in dramatically expanding access to basic education in the last two decades, particularly among girls. Today there are 18 million primary school places - in theory enough for the entire school-aged population.2 Gross enrolment ratios in primary schools have exceeded 100 per cent,3 and the once-stark gender disparity has been completely eliminated. Girls now constitute 55 per cent of Bangladesh’s total primary school enrolment, up from a third in 1990. In just two decades, the number of girls enrolled in secondary school has increased by more than 600 per cent, from 600,000 in 1980 to 4 million in 2000. It is now one of the largest oprimary It is not all good news in Bangladesh’s primary education sector: low quality education presents a serious obstacle to children’s learning achievements, although interventions are now in place to tackle some of the most acute constraints. There are also growing concerns about those left behind - the children of the urban slums and ethnic minority communities whom providers still find ‘hard-to-reach’. Given the success with which the gender disadvantage of poor girls has been addressed, it is striking that the single largest disadvantaged group now seems to be boys from the poorest households: they are more likely to be in paid work from an early age than to be in school. -
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. -

Revisiting Tertiary Education System in Bangladesh: in Quest for Unraveling Existing Issues and Challenges
Journal of Contemporary Governance and Public Policy Vol. 2 No. 1, April 2021, 45-66 Available Online at http://journal.ppishk.org/index.php/jcgpp ISSN (Print): 2722-3981 | ISSN (Online): 2722-3973 Revisiting Tertiary Education System in Bangladesh: In Quest for Unraveling Existing Issues and Challenges Shah Md. Azimul Ehsan1,2*) 1Global Development Institute, University of Manchester, Oxford Rd, Manchester M13 9PL, United Kingdom. 2Department of Public Administration, Faculty of Social Sciences, Jagannath University, 9-10, Chittaranjan Avenue, Dhaka 1100, Bangladesh. Received: 2021-02-01; Accepted: 2021-02-20; Published: 2021-04-30 Abstract Once termed as a basket case, Bangladesh is now a development wonder. Recently, it has entered the cluster of lower-middle-income countries and is predicted to join the cohort of developed ones by 2041. However, the challenge that lies ahead is to sustain the current economic growth with the emerging threat of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR). There is no doubt that the country have the upper hand in order to counter these emerging critical scenario with its huge number of youths. Nonetheless, it will be pertinent to turn these youth force into productive human capital through providing both general and technical education in order to yield higher returns. On this backdrop, this study attempts to know whether our existing tertiary education system is rendering quality education to convert our youth force into effective human resources. Using qualitative tools of social research and drawing information from various secondary sources, the study argues that the existing tertiary education system is failing to produce skilled human resources which is again resulting in lower returns to the economy. -
Rapid Education & Risk Analysis Cox's Bazar

CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 5 INTRODUCTION 6 RERA METHODOLOGY 7 CONTEXT: NATIONAL LEVEL 14 CONTEXT: COX’S BAZAR DISTRICT 19 CONTEXT: THE EDUCATION SECTOR 28 RERA FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS 35 CONCLUSIONS 58 RECOMMENDATIONS 62 ANNEX 64 ENDNOTES 66 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PURPOSE USAID/Bangladesh commissioned a Rapid Education and Risk Analysis (RERA) to understand the impact of the Rohingya influx on pre-primary through secondary education in Bangladeshi schools in Cox’s Bazar. The specific objectives of the RERA were to (i) gain a broader understanding of the risks, needs, assets, and capacities of the education sector in Cox’s Bazar, and (ii) inform education programming to support Bangladeshis in Cox’s Bazar, particularly host and impacted communities. METHODOLOGY A RERA is a “good enough” qualitative situation analysis that examines the education sector, the learners, and the community as a dynamic system of multiple contextual risks and assets. The RERA in Cox’s Bazar was conducted in October 2018 and focused on the situation of Bangladeshis in a limited, purposive primary data sample of schools in 32 communities in 6 upazilas (sub-districts) across Cox’s Bazar: Ukhiya, Teknaf, Ramu, Cox’s Bazar Sadar, Maheshkhali, and Pekua. The RERA reached 900 respondents through 141 focus group discussions and 33 key informant interviews. CONTEXT The rapid influx of more than 727,0001 Rohingya people from Myanmar since August 2017 presented a shock to the communities in Cox’s Bazar, a diverse district already under significant stress. -
