| description |
The Education Watch came into existence in 1998. The first
report of the Watch titled Hope not Complacency: Stale of
Primary Ed11cation in Bangladesh was published in 1999. The
main purpose of this report was to look into internal
efficiency of primary education sub-system. Although
there were some radical revel<~tions, the report was an
instant success. The stakeholders, the practitioners, the
development partners and the civil society representatives
accepted the report with enthusiasm.
Encournged by the success and acceptance of the first
Watclt we decided to devote the second Walcll to quality
aspects of primary education. As it was not possible to
deal with all the quality indic<~tors of primary education
we picked up two mnjor issues, assessment of lenming
achievement of students and tcacher education.
The first Watch found out that there was considerable
exp:-~nsion of prim:-~ry education nnd near gender parity. It
can not, however, be said that we achieved similnr success
so fM as qu<~lity is concerned. Quality assurance remJins J
distnnt go;~ I. r:or the third Watclt we have decided to revisit
the intern.1l efficiency scenario. Two additional are.1s
included in this Waldt <~rc private cost of educc1tion c111d
income nnd expenditure of schools, nnd literacy.
Findings of the internal efficiency indicators showed
consistency with the first Watch. There was reasonnble
qunntit<~tiv<' expnnsion. 13ut qunlity rem<~ined illusive. The
government, the policy plnnncrs c1nd the stakeholders
need to be concerned ;~bout how to improve quality in
t;~ndem with qu<~ntit;~tivc exp<lnsion. The other arcn of
concern i~ the privntc cost of schooling. Primnry educntion
is the constitutionnl obligntion of the government. It is
supposed to be free nne! universnl. Unfortunately there is
cost involved which v;~ries with school type. Pnrents and
guarclinns are to pny ilbout half of the totnl costs of
primnry eclucntion. This is a cnuse of concern because it
mny restrict nccess to primnry education.
As in the pnst 13RAC Rcsenrch <lncl Evilluntion Division
under the nble leadership of Dr. A. M. R Chowdhury,
Director Resenrch 13RAC ilnd Mr. Snmir Ranjnn Nnth,
Senior Resenrch Statisticinn were responsible for fidd
investigntion nnd prcpar<~tion of the report. !3oth of them
deserve npprecintion for the commendnble work done. Dr.
Manwor Ahmed former Director of UNICEF was also
nssocinted with the prepnration of this report. I nm very
thnnkful to him.
Mr. Fnzle Hasan Abed, Ch<lir BRAC and Chair of the
Board of Directors, CAMPE and a member, Advisory
Bonrd of the Ed11cation Watch was very generous towJrds
publication of the report. His in depth comments and
generous support were invaluable. I thank him from the
core of my henri. Ms. Rilsheda K Choudhury, Director,
CAMPE and Member Secretary, Advisory 13onrd nnd
Working Group of the Watch provided logistic support to
the reseJrch team. She deserves our commendntion.
A number of reviewers including Mr. Knzi Fazlur
RnhmJn, Professor Kazi Saleh Ahmed, Ms. Joushnn Arn
R<lhman <1nd Dr. Deborah Llewellyn deserve our thanks
for their valuable comments to improve the report.
Education Watch hils been possible due to generous
finnnci<ll assistnnce received from the DepMtment for
lntcmationnl Development (DFID), UK and Novib of the
Netherlands. Wl' acknowledge their support.
Many stnff members of CAMPE nnd 13RAC including
Mr. FMuq A Choudhury, Mr. Muh<lmmed Shnfiul Alam,
Mr. Subill K. Banik, Mr. Ruhul Am in Choudhury, Mr. Gins
Uddin, Mr. Mirja Mohnmmnd Shilhj;~m<ll, Mr. Shnhidul

Rnzzaque, Ms. Hosnenm D<lisy, Dr. lmran Malin, Mr.
Khilndnkcr Ariful Islam, Mr. Monowilr Hossnin
Khnndaker were involved in vuiOliS stnges of prepMation
of the report. Their devotion and hnrd work is
npprecinted. We illso th;mk Mr. Mohiuddin Ahmed of
University Press Limited for :~greeing to publish the report
with CAMPE nne! Mr. Abdnr Rnhm<~n for his co-opcrnlion.
The report in drnft form wns shnred with importnnt
stnkeholders including pr01ctilioners, civil society nnd
NGO representntives and development purtners. We
benefited from their suggestions. The unsung pnrticipnnts
of this report nrc the thousnnds of students, p<~rents,
gunrdiilnS nnd te;;~chers who pMticipntecl 01nd helped fidd
investigation. Without their support and co·opcrntion the
report would not hnve been possible. I th:-~nk them nil.
We hope the report will be liScful to the stnkcholdcrs
nnd will help improve primnry educntion scenario in
Bnnglndesh. |
