Since 2010, the then-government suddenly decided to distribute books among students, irrespective of whether they were from villages or urban areas, poor or rich, or from slums or affluent areas. This does not sound entirely logical, even though it was claimed that the free book distribution program was implemented to prevent dropout. […]
- [Government Teachers’ Activities Encourage Further Privatisation of Education!](https://bdeduarticle.com/government/): Do government teachers’ activities encourage further privatisation of education? Education has yet to overcome its negative aspects, which it has been struggling with for a long time. December is the month of annual examinations for SSC candidates to assess their progress and achievement, while other students dream of advancing to the following higher classes and then enjoy the year through games, sports, and picnics. Ignoring all these positive aspects, what have we witnessed at the beginning of this month of victory? The government’s primary and secondary school teachers went on strike to press their own demands, leaving the students pawns. A […]

We offer academic coaching, university admission coaching, medical coaching, and coaching for medical and engineering admissions, cadet coaching, cadet admissions coaching, army-navy-air force coaching, BCS coaching, and job placement coaching. One daily newspaper has reported that the city has 33 coaching centres solely for helping students get admission to universities in the city.

- [BCS Education Cadre Officials’ ‘No Promotion, No Work’ Movement](https://bdeduarticle.com/education-cadre/): The deprived education cadre officials have received no promotion during the one-and-a-half-year period of the interim government, coupled with their promotion deprivation ranging from five to twelve years, has caused severe discontent among them. They are supposed to be assistant professors after five years of working. However, many general education cadres of 32nd BCS officials have not received promotion even after serving the nation for more than twelve years. More than 400 lecturers from the 32nd and 33rd batches have met a similar fate. Besides, those who have completed 34th BCS ten years, 35th BCS nine years, and 36th BCS seven […]
- [Existing Teaching-Learning Situation and Communication Skills of Our Learners](https://bdeduarticle.com/communication-skills/): Communication skills lie at the centre of all success in today’s world. Those who can express their own thoughts, opinions, and plans effectively enjoy the ability to lead, manage work, and people. These elements of communication skills definitely require practical English, rather than theoretical knowledge of the language. We know that Singapore, a technologically advanced society, places great importance on English teaching for its future generation. Here, students practice oral presentations and free writing at least twice a week, in addition to their regular classes, which truly nurture them to face the challenges of today’s world. When this becomes a reality […]
- [We Have Enough Trained Teachers, but Very Few Skilled Teachers](https://bdeduarticle.com/trained-teachers/): We have enough trained teachers, but do we have enough skilled teachers? Training and skills do not mean the same thing. Teachers must immerse themselves deeply and with rapt attention to acquire skills in any subject. They must be genuinely interested in learning it, which should be guided by internal motivation. A teacher must understand the subject’s ins and outs and possible related matters to satisfy their queries and make it more suitable and palatable to the students. How students respond to the subject, how they are taking it, why they do not react as expected, where the weakness is, and […]
- [SDG 4 goal: Are we on the right track to achieve this?](https://bdeduarticle.com/sdg-4-goal/): One hundred ninety-three member states of the UN unanimously adopted the SDGs in 2015, and by 2030, the targeted goals are to be fulfilled. Keeping pace with this promise, along with the SDG 4 goal, the government of Bangladesh has taken various steps to achieve the goals within the stipulated time. The SDG 4 goal of the seventeen talks about inclusive and quality education based on equality and making scope for life-long learning. However, doubts have developed about whether Bangladesh can fulfil its goals by 2030, as the education system is still unsteady. By 2030, all boys and girls’ relevant, practical […]

The world knows that UNESCO was established on this International Literacy Day in 1966 to raise awareness about the essential role of literacy for individuals, communities, and societies, meaning the darkness of illiteracy must be dispelled by individual, social, state and global efforts. It also means observing the International Literacy Day at the behest or call of the state, only as a ceremonial event that does not reflect its true objective. It is […]
- [Private Universities in Bangladesh: Navigation through Odds and Favours](https://bdeduarticle.com/private-universities-in-bangladesh/): The existence of private universities in Bangladesh is now a visual reality. Our memory dates back to 1992, when our country saw eleven public universities. Dr. M. Alimullah Mia started a movement titled ‘Non-Government University Movement’ while visiting the University of Kansas, USA and shared his idea with around a hundred teachers and educationists, who gave him a green signal to go ahead. It was followed by his proposal to the Ministry of Education in 1991 to establish private universities in Bangladesh. Then, the government accepted the proposal, analysing its merits and demerits. In 1992, the first private university named North […]
- [Milestone Tragedy and Our Response](https://bdeduarticle.com/milestone-tragedy/): Milestone School and College experienced quite an unexpected and unfathomable tragic incident, the first of its kind in Bangladesh. However, our response to that pathetic incident did not seem rational. On 22 July, just after the day of the Milestone incident two advisors namely law and education were detained for 9 hours by the students who could not come to the main road and then again, their security men took them back to the college where they had to remain for 9 hours and finally, they were rescued by security men through an alternative way. The students from adjacent areas also […]
- [No Business with Education!](https://bdeduarticle.com/no-business-with-education/): In Chattogram, our Education Advisor recently said, “It will not take much time to change the country when education touches all. Education makes humans modest and gentle. A student who gets education from his family will never show pride; rather, he will be modest. So, there should not be any business with education. Education is a proper channel of becoming real human beings that all must remember.’’ I appreciate the nice words of our advisor, and side by side, I want to draw his kind attention to the fact that our education assumed a business shape many years back; it is […]
- [Primary Scholarship Exam – To Be or Not To Be!](https://bdeduarticle.com/primary-scholarship-exam/): There was a time when primary scholarship was conducted after completing the annual examination of class five. Usually, the students who occupied top positions in the internal examinations were allowed to sit for this examination. The successful examinees used to obtain monthly scholarship money, and these students were tagged as ‘scholars. Similar things happened in the SSC and HSC examinations, where several top-level students occupied positions on the education boards. That was abolished to give students a GPA. Both systems have merits. The primary scholarship examination was stopped after introducing the Primary Education Completion Examination 2009. Since then, not only the […]
- [Low-quality Books for Students Starting Next Year](https://bdeduarticle.com/low-quality-books/): If we look at NCTB from two decades ago until today, there is no room to appreciate it. Every year, heaps of allegations, complaints, problems, and corruption of various types and forms appear instead. This year, the NCTB is providing low quality books. When we studied in school, we saw the papers and books were of excellent quality and looked good. Then, the Physics, Chemistry and Biology books were different from grade nine, whose price was minimal so far as I remember, one taka fifty paisa or seventy-five paisa. Excellent colour and quality, and the look easily attracted the students! We […]

The current decision of recruiting teacher without written test will be a suicidal decision. Following the long discussion, criticism, advice and suggestions of the educationists of the country, the government gave importance to the matter […]
- [I Never Wanted to be an Educationist](https://bdeduarticle.com/to-be-an-educationist/): Though I never wanted to become an educationist or a curriculum developer in my teenage years, I asked my teacher in 8th grade why the contents of our textbook seemed disorganized and repetitive. Moreover, why do they have different information and points of view on the same incident in various subjects? My teacher looked at me and said, “You should write it down and post the letter to the NCTB someday!” At 13, I was unaware of a career where I, as an educationist, could develop learning interventions, try them out with the communities, and develop a curriculum for mainstream students […]
- [What Students are Learning? Stop Staging the Theatre of Education](https://bdeduarticle.com/what-students-are-learning/): The COVID situation and the theatre of introducing a so-called ‘competency-based’ curriculum pushed the teaching and learning situation to the lowest rung. In the true sense of the term, the teaching-learning scenario, receiving and giving education evaporated many years back from our classes, educational institutions, and society, with some exceptions occurring in some institutions like missionary and privately run schools and colleges along with cadet colleges of the country. The tradition of attending class, conducting exams and publishing results happens without tangible effects, as nothing goes professionally and fruitfully. There is no account of what is going on in the classes, […]

The teachers who teach English say the curriculum and the textbooks based on the spirit of this curriculum have been designed quite differently from the previous ones. One of the most important changes is that students do not have or very little homework, which exacerbates many guardians that their children are not learning anything, but some teachers say they really need not do so many things at home as most works are done in the classroom. To speak the truth, the conscious guardians and the teachers […]

If the answer is yes, it is astonishing as well as abnormal. Play is natural, and so many exquisite instances of play are visible.

All children intended to participate in games and play regardless of race, religion, or caste.

One year of pre-schooling in every primary school has been initiated, which is contributing to SDG-4. Internationally, pre-schooling starts with toddlers that are from an age cohort of three years. Making parity with international program practice, two-year pre-schooling is also going to be implemented from January 2023 in the pilot phase, which will be a commendable endeavour. So, as in policy, Bangladesh is on the way to reaching international standards. Nevertheless, it is far beyond practice, especially in parent […]

It does not stop at one time as it is continually transformed by speakers at every moment in every utterance (Sultana, 2012a, 2012b). In today’s global era, speakers of various languages are roaming around the world and communicate in different languages.

Some of them have been in the city for more than two decades at a stretch, and even some completed their job without being posted ever outside Dhaka in their entire career. How strange! Government procedure entails that a government official should work in a particular place for three years and after this period, he/she is subject to transfer. This policy did not touch the officials and teachers of […]

Work is going on to this end and a committee has been formed. However, this decision though retains merit, it calls for more observations, tests […]

This enables people to develop technologies, make economic development and enrich culture. This gives immense power to human beings to innovate ideas to contribute to the social, economic, cultural and demographical changes needed to construct a civilized society. It is proved that education can build a devolved nation; for example, New Zealand has a 99% literacy rate (UNESCO, 2018) and by increasing literacy rate, this country has developed its economic, social and cultural conditions. Education also has negative impacts, like promoting discrimination based on wealth, gender, and socioeconomic role (Hossain, n.d.). However, the […]

They have to inflict physical and mental torture at the hands of student cadres and senior brothers that sometimes even lead them to deform their bodies, shattering hopes and meeting death. Ragging culture goes in the room, dining hall, library, hall room, guest room, open places on the campus. All these points are torture cells. The pupils who faced such […]
