INTRODUCTION In recent decades, global development is a major issue of debate in the context of increasing global inequality, economic recession, conflict and climate change (Sayed and Ahmed, 2015). The current warming trend is of particular significance as most of it is (greater than 95 percent probability) due to the result of anthropogenic activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over decades to millennia (IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, 2014). Therefore, issues on energy efficiency improvement and mitigation of climate change become vitally important at global scale. As noted by UNESCO, “Education is an essential element of the global response to climate change. It helps young people understand and address the impact of global warming, encourages changes in their attitudes and behaviour and helps them adapt to climate change-related trends”. Higher education improvement strategies in improving teaching and learning in higher education institutions is the prime focus in the present world. preparation for accreditation and student learning assessment strategies are being used for teaching and learning in higher education with diverse outcomes (Igbinakhase and Naidoo, 2020). However, challenges and conflicts for the education improvement strategies in higher education is the snag to serve the defined purposes of the institute due to ineffective teacher professional development initiatives and lack of specifically developed programs designed for specific needs of the student (OECD, 2010; 2012; Igbinakhase and Naidoo, 2020). In recent decades, progress towards quality education has been made through the implementation of structural reforms under the Bologna process. However, there is still a need to be more attentive to the process of learning and teaching itself (European Commission, 2018). Developments in learning and teaching are closely related to the collaboration with stakeholders, including national and international policy makers. Establishing quality education involves knowledge-building activities and studies, institutional development and peer learning, as well as related policy statements and recommendations. The education sector is vitally important for social and economic development of Russia (Region 4), Sri Lanka and Bangladesh (Region 6). The objective of the energy policy of Russia is to maximize the effective use of natural energy resources and the potential of the 5 energy sector to sustain economic growth, improve the quality of life of the population and promote strengthening of foreign economic positions of the country. Supporting strategic initiatives, distinguished in Energy Strategy of Russia for the period up to 2030 (2010) include implementing of information and educational programs (events), promoting energy saving; developing and supporting international cooperation in energy saving and energy efficiency, and in research of new energy sources. Sri Lanka has already launched a number of programmes to educate, train and promote awareness on climate change and related issues. However, there remains a large disparity in the level of education, information and awareness on climate change risks, issues and responses at the regional, national and local levels, and within vulnerable sectors. One of the key thematic priorities of the Sri Lanka is country partnership strategy (CPS, 2018-2022) focuses on strengthening environment, climate change, and disaster risk management. Bangladesh contributes little to global greenhouse gas emissions, yet is one of the most climate vulnerable countries in the world, prone to a multitude of climate-related disasters such as floods, droughts, tropical cyclones and storm surges, which are being worsened due to global warming. In addition to this, Bangladesh also has an extremely high population density with one of the worst rates of poverty in the world. The existing training courses offer basic knowledge on the changing climate, however, the scoping study (Hasan Masum et al. 2011) identified lack of capacity on participatory, experimental, and inclusive teaching and learning methodologies and lack of quality training facilities are the key challenges for promoting climate change education in Bangladesh. Moreover, it was recognized that Article 6 of the UNFCCC and Article 10(e) of the Kyoto Protocol which call on governments to address climate change education, training and public awareness issues relating to climate change, have not received the deserved attention at national level. It has been revealed that HEIs from Russia, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have very few modern multi-disciplinary courses linked to climate change and consumer behaviour related to energy efficiency in the built environment. Moreover, improvement of teachers’ qualification on modern study methods is considered as one of the most important measures to achieve high quality of education. there are important knowledge gaps that additional research may address, including integration of insights from a wide array of social science disciplines, including economics, psychology, political science, sociology and others 6

  • Paper 3-Waqf and Madrasah Education
    The Role of Cash Waqf in The Development of Islamic Higher Education in Bangladesh M. Azizul Huq1 & Foyasal Khan2 Abstract Bangladesh is the third largest Muslim nations by population where madrasah (religious institutions) is still the main provider of Islamic higher education. The history madrasah education dated back to the thirteen century when Bengal was conquered by Muslim. From that time, Madrasah education was largely funded by waqf and it was absolutely free. The residential madrasahs provided free boarding and lodging for the students and the teachers. Since the British occupation, however, the madrasah education system has been neglected and both number of people donating waqf land and number of waqf properties have been declining remarkably. Thus, Islamic higher education is in the crisis of patronization. As an overpopulated nation, the scope of land waqf is limited in Bangladesh. In this case, cash waqf is the suitable alternative for the country. This paper, hence, aims to evaluate the role of cash waqf in the development of Islamic higher education in Bangladesh. 1. INTRODUCTION The traditional perception of Muslim intellectuals and Muslim governments was that 'Islamic Education' means 'merely theological teaching or the teaching of the Qur'an, Hadith and Fiqh. This tendency of limiting the scope of 'Islamic education' was changed to a great extent when the First World Conference on Muslim Education was held in the Holy City of Makkah in 1977 where Muslim scholars redefined 'Islamic education' as 'teaching all branches

  • Determinants of Academic Performance of the Students of Public Universities in Bangladesh
    Athens Journal of Education 2021, 8: 1-13 https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.X-Y-Z Determinants of Academic Performance of the Students of Public Universities in Bangladesh * ± By Rashed Alam & Rafiqul Islam Education is one of the most important factors in producing human resources. University education can be influenced by many factors that affect students‟ quality of academic performance. The main focus of this study is identifying the influencing factors that are significantly associated with the academic performance of universities students. Data were extracted from the various departments of two public universities. Data analysis by Contingency and logistic regression were used to identify the determinants of academic performance of the students. Among the students, 56.8% were male and 43.2% were female most of them are Muslims and unmarried. 75.1% of students came from rural areas, only 15% of students‟ mothers were higher educated and 65% of student's family status was middle class. Higher educated mother, HSC and SSC results, admitted to an expected university, admitted present department by their own choice, study environment in the department and use of the internet had significant effects on the results of 1st year of the students. The findings concluded that increase and improve students‟ academic performance are some crucial steps regarding securing admission first choice of the department and advising about peer influence should be taken into consideration. Keywords: determinants, academic performance, public university, logistic regression analysis, Bangladesh Introduction Education is one of the most essential factors in producing a human resource that is compulsory for any development according to the needs of a country.

  • Groundwater Quality Assessment of Barisal City Corporation in Bangladesh
    Barisal University Journal Part 1, 4(2):339-350 (2017) ISSN 2411-247X GROUNDWATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF BARISAL CITY CORPORATION IN BANGLADESH Sukhen Goswami¹*, A. K. M. Moshiur Rahman², M. I. M. Fuad², Dhiman Kumer Roy¹ and Abdur Rahim³ ¹Department of Geology and Mining, University of Barisal, Barisal 8200 ²Department of Geology, University of Dhaka, Dhaka 1000 ³Department of Disaster Resilience and Engineering, Faculty of Disaster Management, Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Dumki, Patuakhali 8602 Abstract Southern coastal belt of Bangladesh holds importance for its dramatic hydrogeological nature and aquifer systems. An attempt has been carried out to assess and evaluate the groundwater quality at Barisal City Corporation in the southern coastal city of Bangladesh. Samples were collected for the dry and wet periods from the nested wells to assess the groundwater chemistry and vertical variations for different seasons. During both periods, high concentrations of Na+ and Cl- were measured along with high electric conductivity (>7000 µS/cm) which is telltale of brackish water, whereas, at greater depth (>150 m) these parameters played reverse role. Dominant water types in wet season were Na-Cl- HCO3, Na-Cl and Mg-Cl while distinguished type of water was identified in different depths. Copiousness of the major ions has followed this order: Na+>Mg2+> 2+ + - 2- 2- - 2- Ca >K > Cl > HC03 > SO4 > NO3 >PO4 . Vertical distribution of Arsenic (As) shows significant trend in which shallower wells have higher concentration than the deeper one. Water from shallower depth is proved to be highly and injuriously contaminated by sea water intrusion but in deeper piezometers water is identified as slightly contaminated by sea water ingression.

  • An Analysis of Division-Wise Employment Patterns in Bangladesh
    AN ANALYSIS OF DIVISION-WISE EMPLOYMENT PATTERNS IN BANGLADESH: DECENT WORK PERSPECTIVE An Analysis of Division-wise Employment Patterns in Bangladesh: Decent Work Perspective Md. Mamin Ullah* Department of Management Studies, University of Barisal, Barisal, Bangladesh ABSTRACT The growing global concern for labor rights and human dignity has led the development of notion of decent work. However, the countries’ readiness to adopt this decent work agenda into national policies is in debates and discussions among the labor economists and researchers. The objective of this paper is to analyze division-wise employment patterns in Bangladesh from decent work perspective. This policy based study has incorporated a comparative analysis of different dimensions of employment of different divisions in Bangladesh based on available data. Related research articles, journals, monographs, books, strategic papers, and publications of national and international labor organizations were critically reviewed. The study has found that despite a significant progress in human development and economic growth, still a significant division-wise variation is found in terms of labor force participation, NEET, informal employment, status in employment, and labor migration in Bangladesh. An integrated national policy dealing with the customized labor strategies for different divisions is supposed to be effective for attaining decent work objectives in Bangladesh. Policy options and research agenda are outlined. Keywords: Decent work, employment, division-wise employment, employment in Bangladesh 1. INTRODUCTION As a result, the role of ILO has been evaluated in building a future that promotes human development leading to 1.1 Background sustainability. Globalization has been appreciated for creating economic Bangladesh has made significant progress in recent years opportunities, but it is also being criticized for contributing in terms of economic growth despite the worldwide to “social inequalities and personal insecurities” [1].

    This Document provides the selected team list for ICPC Dhaka Regional 2020. THIS IS A TENTATIVE LIST. Currently, the hosts plan to accommodate all these teams in the contest. If, due to the demand of the extreme situation, the capacity is revised, then an updated list will be published. This year is extraordinary, and we appreciate your patience and support in organizing this event. The document includes: 1. Report on the mistake of problem C 2. Report on the plagiarism charges 3. Updated rank-list 4. Selected team list Mistake on Problem C of ICPC Dhaka Regional 2020 Online Preliminary Contest A mistake was found in the judge data of Problem C (Almost a Palindrome) after the contest was over. Unfortunately, the mistake potentially harmed teams who approached it in the correct way. Thus, teams might have had a better rank than the one they achieved during the contest. The Issue The core algorithm to solve the problem was correct in the setter’s, tester’s and two alternate writers’ solutions. But they all missed a corner case. The problem requires the smallest index in case of multiple possible answers and in this case, judges’ solution may produce an index which is not the smallest. Handling this corner case requires a little addition after finding the answer with the core algorithm. Without handling this case, for some input the judges’ output was flawed. So, this mistake doesn’t affect the efficiency of the judges’ solution rather the correctness in this case. The Resolve from Judges Judges did the following steps to resolve the issue.
