| description |
In the recent past, there has been a number of new initiatives to improve the access to
primary education in many developing countries. Such initiatives, which came from the
public, private and non-governmental (NGO) sectors, have resulted in improved performance
in various efficiency indicators. This paper reports results from a nationwide study in
Bangladesh on the levels and changes in enrollment pattern of children at the primary level.
Gross enrollment ratio has reached 107% and net enrollment 77%. Gender gap has
disappeared; in fact girls have surpassed boys! However, the increase in enrollment taking
place is not at the desired speed; it is less than one percentage point per year. The government
is still the major provider of primary education with two-thirds of all enrollments, but non
formal schools run by NGOs also have important contribution in the positive changes that are
taking place in Bangladesh. |
