Abstract

E-governance enhances public services, lowers corruption, and encourages state modernization. In a rapidly developing nation like Bangladesh, an e-government is not only a symbol of modernity but also a strategic tool for attaining the Sustainable Development Goals and inclusive economic growth. Bangladesh is in the vanguard of the least developed countries’ digital transformation thanks to the government’s Smart Bangladesh (Vision 2041) plans, which seek to accelerate the shift to digital public services. Despite improvements in internet services and communication networks, Bangladesh is predicted to remain the least developed nation in the UN E-Government Development Index by 2026. Additionally, the government launched services for mobile government, or m-government. Mobile phones are used by these services to facilitate transactions and provide information. For instance, users can use SMS or mobile apps to check their test results, pay bills, and get notifications from the government. In Bangladesh, where computer ownership is low but cell phone penetration is strong, this strategy is very helpful. To facilitate cashless transactions, the government collaborated with mobile banking service companies. For bill payment, money transfers, and business transactions, services like bKash, Nagad, and Rocket gained popularity. However, citizens face severe ethical difficulties with these services. This study examines the ethical issues surrounding the M-governance experience, namely mobile financial services. Finally, it suggests methods for embedding ethics at all levels of M-governance, such as strong data security legislation, digital literacy and equity initiatives, interconnected platforms, and ethical bureaucratic stewardship.

Abstract

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) exert a substantial influence on enhancing students’ academic competencies in Bangladesh. The primary aim of this inquiry is to ascertain undergraduate learners’ viewpoints regarding the deployment of ICT in their studies. In addition, the investigation explores the hindrances that may obstruct the optimal integration of ICT within higher education from the students’ perspective. A survey-based methodology was employed, adopting a quantitative orientation. The study utilized both primary and secondary sources of evidence. For the primary data, an online questionnaire was disseminated to undergraduate students of CCN University of Science and Technology across four designated departments. A total of 120 students enrolled in the Fall 2025 semester participated in the survey. Data collection was executed through a stratified random sampling procedure. The results indicated that students devoted considerable time to utilizing ICT for educational purposes and expressed favorable attitudes toward its application in learning. They acknowledged that ICT significantly contributes to the refinement of their academic abilities; however, they also encountered numerous impediments in classroom usage, such as insufficient training opportunities, technical malfunctions, inadequate user assistance, elevated cost of technological tools, unreliable internet connectivity or infrastructural deficits, concerns over privacy and data protection, and restricted campus internet access. Ultimately, the study proposes several recommendations for higher education administrators and policymakers to facilitate the effective adoption and expansion of ICT in the years ahead. Furthermore, Respondents expected the campus to be able to supply each classroom with suitable equipment and ICT connectivity to enhance the learning process.

Abstract

Backgrounds: Globally, e-government has grown in importance as a tool for contemporary administration. Bangladesh started this journey with high hopes to make government services better and easier for people. But along with the good changes, many ethical problems have come up. Objectives: This paper talks about moral problems in detail and suggests ways to fix them. The first part of the paper talks about what e-government is and why ethics are important in this area. After that, it talks about how e-government has grown in Bangladesh. And what problems have arisen. Finally, it provides suggestions on how to resolve these moral issues. Methodology: This study examines the ethical challenges of e-governance in Bangladesh using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data was collected through documentation studies and literature reviews, analyzing official documents, reports, academic publications, and government websites. Source triangulation was employed to ensure data validity and reliability. Findings: Findings reveal that despite significant progress, including the National Web Portal, over 8,000 Union Digital Centers, and mobile services—seven ethical challenges persist: digital divide, weak privacy protections, transparency gaps, digital corruption, cybersecurity threats, low digital literacy, and exclusion of marginalized groups. Conclusions: The foremost conclusion is that e-government will create more problems than it can resolve if good moral values and stringent regulations do not back it. The paper recommends that authorities prioritize equal access, robust data protection laws, improved employee training, and transparent accountability mechanisms. Only then can e-government contribute to national development in a just and equitable manner.

Abstract

The accelerated advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has yielded substantial progress in both research and education, yet concurrently introduces complex ethical considerations. This research examines the ethical dimensions associated with deploying AI systems within educational contexts. Furthermore, AI contributes meaningfully to the advancement of education and research about Sustainable Development Goals 4 and 9. Nevertheless, attention must be directed toward the uncertainties engendered by specific apprehensions, including the notion that AI-driven systems might ultimately supplant human educators. The present study draws upon a comprehensive literature review, supplemented by reports and investigations conducted by researchers, institutions, and organizations dedicated to advancing AI and exploring its educational applications, alongside ethical concerns articulated by global experts and bodies. The findings aim to identify and discuss five salient ethical concerns pertaining to AI in education: hallucination, algorithmic bias, plagiarism, privacy, and transparency. The article culminates in a proposed framework designed to address these concerns and facilitate the ethical utilization of artificial intelligence by students and researchers, thereby promoting responsible AI practices within research and educational domains.
