| description |
Based on the application of a purposefully designed test of literacy skills on a nationwide
sample, the Education Watch established a benchmark for the literacy situation of the
population 11 years and above in Bangladesh. Over a hundred investigators, half of them
women, collected data and administered literacy tests on 13,145 people from 3,840
households in 268 rural and urban communities in all 64 districts in October and
November 2002. Statistically valid and reliable estimates were made of literacy rates for
the population 11 years and above and 15 years and above, as well as, separately for
females and males, urban metropolitan centres and municipal areas, and rural areas of six
divisions. The policy implications of the findings are also presented at the end. It is
expected that the findings of this Education Watch would end the prevailing confusion
about the literacy status of the population in the country and serve as the baseline for
future planning and assessment of progress in literacy, non formal education and lifelong
education. |
