Abstract

The quality of a nation's higher education system significantly influences its socioeconomic progress. Universities have immense capacity to promote economic well-being in underdeveloped nations. This study examines the relative quality of education at both private and public universities in Bangladesh. The study used a quantitative research method, with a total of 220 respondents participating in a cross-sectional survey. Data was collected physically via a face-to-face interview and online using a standardized Google form. The cross-sectional survey respondents found both offline and online methods convenient. Data were analyzed using Excel and SPSS. The study used statistical data to analyze crucial elements that influence the quality of education. Results reveal considerable disparities in educational quality evaluations between public and private universities. Both kinds of universities have reasonable teacher-student ratios, but private universities do better. 45% of public university respondents rate library facilities highly, compared to 22% at private universities. Research facilities prefer public universities, with 44% of respondents evaluating them highly, compared to just 14% for private universities. The quality of ICT facilities is seen as superior at private universities, with 57% of participants rating them highly, in contrast to a mere 11% in public universities. Private universities perceive international collaboration as more effective, with 67% of respondents rating it as high, compared to 38% in public universities. This investigation emphasizes the strengths and weaknesses of both public and private universities in Bangladesh, offering valuable insights for educational administrators and policymakers who are endeavoring to improve the quality of education in both sectors.

Abstract

Abstract Public food distribution programmes are central to social protection efforts, yet their performance often falls short of their stated goals. This study evaluates the service quality of the Open Market Sale (OMS) programme, which provides subsidised food grains to low-income urban residents, and examines how institutional and political factors shape its outcomes. Using a qualitative design informed by critical realism, the research draws on 20 in-depth interviews with purposefully selected beneficiaries and 10 key informant interviews with programme administrators, dealers and community leaders, complemented by documentary analysis of policy and evaluation reports. The findings show that, although OMS offers short-term price relief, its service quality is undermined by long queues, uncertain access, inadequate ration sizes, poor food quality and weak responsiveness to complaints. Targeting errors, institutional capacity gaps, chronic underfunding and pervasive corruption, including political influence over dealer selection and outlet locations, further distort benefit distribution and generate significant leakages and losses along the supply chain. The study concludes that the programme only partially protects food-insecure households and requires substantial reform in both design and implementation. Empirically, it contributes fine-grained evidence on how front-line practices and local power relations shape the performance of food-based safety nets. Policy implications include the need to strengthen data-driven targeting, increase transparency and accountability, invest in storage and monitoring systems, and integrate OMS within a broader, more coherent social protection strategy.
