Education Watch
Omen in front of the nation
We often say, education is the backbone of the nation. Today, that backbone is bending. If the spine is bent, people become hunched, similarly, when the education system deteriorates, the nation also falls into a state of fragility. According to research published in the media yesterday (March 31) by Education Watch, it has been revealed that due to the impact of the Corona pandemic, many students at the primary and secondary levels are dropping out. Among the dropouts, a majority are girl children. Most of them are falling victim to child marriage.
Education cost increased by 25% in primary, 51% in secondary
In Bangladesh, the family expenditure on school children is increasing. A family spends about tk14,000 per primary school student per year. And more than Tk27,000 are being spent in secondary school. In the first six months of last year, spending on primary education increased by 25 percent and secondary education by 51 percent. And the major reason for this expenditure is coaching-private and guide books.
