New education system
Radical reform of education system is needed
There is no end to the complaints about the country’s education system. This dissatisfaction comes from students, parents, and educators alike. On one hand, the current education system is failing to produce skilled professionals, and on the other hand, there is a shortage of qualified researchers, doctors, and scientists. Despite repeated changes to the curriculum, no significant improvements have been made.
Training for parents and teachers in the new education method is essential
Fourteen years ago, Bangladesh initiated the innovative educational method known as student-centered learning, aimed at moving away from rote memorization and exam-oriented education. However, as the desired outcomes were not achieved, the government has now introduced a new curriculum starting from 2023 named 'Competency-Based Learning Approach. Through this method, students will engage in learning with enjoyment. However, implementing this method across all grades and the entire education system has not yet been feasible. The government has indicated that it may take until 2027 to implement this change in all grades and in the overall education system.
