A
survey on the standard of education in Bangladesh conducted by the government
is saying that students of the primary schools are getting only 40% of their required
education from schools.
In
this research on evaluation of the students, a fearful scenario about the
standard of the government primary schools has come out.
90%
students of the fifth grade have low standard mathematics skills. On the other
hand, 35% students of the third grade have low standard in Bangla language
education.
In
Bangladesh, the number of government primary school is 63,600. The number of
students is two crore and nineteen lakh. As a result, education researchers said,
“There is a close relation between the education standard of these schools and
the standard of the country’s overall education.”
Rasheda
K Chowdhury, the leading education researcher of Bangladesh, said to BBC that
the standard of education and insufficiency in the primary level education is very
alarming.” She said that a survey conducted by them in 2015 has shown that
students are being depended on coaching for not getting education in school.”
Md
Gias Uddin Ahmed, Additional Secretary of the ministry of Primary and Mass
Education, said to Rakib Hasnat of BBC Bangla that they have accepted the
result of this research and are thinking deeply about the ways to solve this
problem.
He
mentioned that they are thinking of organizing various competitions in the
primary level to improve the standard of mathematics education.
But
one primary teacher told BBC that the lack of teachers is the main reason for
this situation.
Fatima
Sharmin, a teacher of Amtali Staff Welfare Govt. Primary School, said, “There
are 10 teachers for 529 students in her school.”
That
means, one teacher has to manage more than 50 students on an average where this
number is not supposed to be more than 30 in the government policy. This
scenario is worse in rural areas.
“The
number of student is very high, and on top of that they come with a different
level of intelligence. So, we cannot give necessary attention to everyone. As a
result, many low-intelligence students are being lost.”
“During
training, we are taught to take preparation before taking class, but where is
the time?”
Although
the present government has paid attention to increasing the number of students
and stop them from dropping out, the fear about the standard of education is
increasing by day.
