Abstract

Higher education in Bangladesh has its roots in the British colonial period, and since the country's liberation in 1971, the government has placed significant emphasis on developing the education sector. This study aims to identify the structure, acts, laws, and commissions governing higher education in Bangladesh, with a particular focus on the Sylhet division. The study also assesses the performance of private universities within this division. Secondary data were gathered from various articles, websites, and relevant documents, while specific information regarding Leading University was obtained from the office of the Controller of Examinations. Descriptive statistics were employed to analyze the data. The findings indicate that the higher education sector in Bangladesh has undergone significant transformation, particularly following the implementation of the Private University Act of 1992. Among the 158 universities nationwide, only 10 are located in the Sylhet division, and among the 114 medical colleges, only 7 are situated in this region. Within Sylhet's four districts, the Sylhet district houses the majority of higher education institutions, while the Moulvibazar district has the fewest. The private universities in the Sylhet division have shown strong performance in terms of infrastructure, physical facilities, and teacher-student ratios, with Leading University identified as the top performer. However, this study primarily focuses on the opportunities available in higher education in the Sylhet division, and does not assess the quality of education. Future research could explore this aspect further.

Abstract

Primary education is a basic education for all, which depends on different agencies and factors to ensure its quality. The study assessed the state of instructional facilities in primary education at the Upazila level in Bangladesh. An explanatory sequential design and mixed methods have been used in this study. The researcher has collected quantitative data by surveying primary school head teachers and selected schools from two upazilas: Charghat in Rajshahi and Sundargonj in Gaibandha District. The sample for the study was determined by stratified and simple random sampling. The total schools were 12 and 42 in both study areas. Through different interviews, questionnaire surveys, and document reviews, the researcher has explored the scenario of instructional educational facilities and provided suggestions to ensure quality primary education. The study finds that the Upazila Education Office should be at the vanguard of achieving quality primary education by ensuring the excellence of the school environment through instructional facilities with the help of the government, School Management Committee (SMC), Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), and communities. Overall, the government should prioritize investing in the improvement of instructional facilities in primary schools, as it directly impacts the quality of education and the ultimate academic performance of the students.
