Education-Ideas & Innovations This year we have decided to move away from the regular type of Independence Day supplement and instead focus on EDUCATION, the one issue we consider to be the most important for NATION BUILDING today, and one in which we have made considerable progress. Editor's Note In Bangladesh the education sector has encountered many hurdles. Apart from the fact that there has been no tangible education policy to follow, although there have been a number of committees who had submitted their recommendations to the government which, for some reason, could not be, or, were not, implemented, the different strands of education being followed at the moment only help to compound the situation. The regrettable reality is that while education is supposed to be a vehicle for nation building and national integration, we see quite the contrary happening. It has divided the nation. At the same time it would be a travesty to suggest that everything is wrong with the system. Commendable strides have been made, both through private and public sector efforts, and through interesting ideas to make education inclusive, participatory and affordable. The profundity as well as the vastness of the issue can hardly be captured in a limited space, but we have, nonetheless, tried to encapsulate the major issues in the space available. Among other things, we look at the recently formulated education policy and highlight certain innovations in imparting education, both at primary and higher levels. Madrasa education has been brought under scrutiny. We look at the need for science education at all levels, while taking a hard look at the performance of the universities we look specifically at politics in the campus and the direction higher education is taking. I take this opportunity to express our thanks to the authors, and all those associated with the publication of the supplement, for their contribution. Only you, the readers, are the best judges as to its success. |
