Using data generated through two nationally representative sample surveys, this article
explores the trends in the level of basic education of Bangladeshi children. The
instrument used for the purpose was based on the Declaration of the WorId Conference
on Education for All (WCEF A, Jomtien 1990). The findings reveal that the level of
'basic education' increased very slowly, 26.7 percent in 1993 to 29.6 percent in 1998,
less than one percentage point per year. Statistically significant improvement was
observed in 'life skills knowledge' and 'writing skills', but not in 'reading' or
'numeracy'. Girls progressed in 'reading', 'writing' and 'life skills' while the boys in
'writing' and 'life skills'. Over the period, the level improved for rural children but
decreased for urban children. Bangladesh stands much behind to what was targeted at
Jomtien Conference in 1990; it will have to wait until 2093 AD to reach the WCEFA
goal. The country has made good progress in increasing the access to primary education
but a massive drive is necessary to improve the quality of education. |
