This article explores the improvement in the level of health knowledge of Bangladeshi
children over a five year period 1993-1998. Data were generated from two nationally
representative sample surveys covering respectively 2,520 and 3,360 children aged
11-12 years. Six health knowledge items, relevant to life in Bangladesh, were
considered. Analyses revealed a significant improvement in the knowledge over the
period. However, significant socio-economic variations also persisted in the
performance. Rural children improved much faster compared to their urban
counterparts. In both the surveys, children's performance varied significantly by
items. To equip children with necessary health knowledge this study suggested
strengthening health education at primary level in Bangladesh. |
