The crisis of general higher education in affiliated general colleges has become a cause for concern in Bangladesh.
As reported by a national daily and some electronic media of late, the current administration is contemplating ceasing operations of around 300 private colleges for higher studies across the country.
Since indepen-dence, a unique policy initiative in Bangladesh has been to nationalise non-government schools or colleges or madrasas.
Student absenteeism (in the classroom) is a matter of serious concern for education policymakers in Bangladesh because it is a major hindrance in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), the objective of which is to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.”
No sooner had the results for the Higher Secondary and School Certificate (HSC) examination been published that strong deliberation regarding the problems and prospects of further education after HSC sprang up. Major print and electronic media covered the news giving utmost priority to the said issue.
Whenever there is a discussion on the budget for education, it inevitably boils down to the amount of money allocated.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the cost of attending a public university in Bangladesh is quite low compared to that of a private university.
