Abstract

It is widely recognized that the initial case of the coronavirus was identified in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, on December 31, 2019.  Following this, the World Health Organization officially classified it as a worldwide pandemic on March 11, 2020. Multiple studies have demonstrated that these pandemic affects individuals of all ages, although the incidence rate is lowest among young people. The global situation, however, has led to the observation of distinct effects within this group. The reason can be said that in many countries around the world, schools, colleges and universities are closed for a long time.  This changes the general lifestyle of the youth group. In this paper, the impact of Covid-19 on the lifestyle of youth groups is discussed. The impact of this virus has been seen to be more pronounced among the youth. Because of the impact, changes in their lifestyles have been found that have been dire. This study found that during Covid-19, youth spent more time sleeping than they normally would. During the pandemic, instead of using their study time, they have spent a lot of time on social media or various types of games. And, the positive impact is that Covid-19 is introducing young people as well as all students to the online education system. Badly the pandemic has a significant impact on the mental health of young people. On the other side, the pandemic has had a positive impact on the lives of young people in terms of hygiene.

Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive examination and assessment of the e-services delivery of government through Union Digital Centers (UDCs). The emergence of electronic governance has resulted in the accelerated delivery of electronic services in different countries, including Bangladesh, with the aim of promoting socio-economic progress. Nonetheless, the notion of the “digital divide” or “digital gap” imposes constraints on its overall efficacy with e- services delivery as it exacerbates the socioeconomic disparity between affluent and impoverished individuals. In relation to the digital divide, existing literature indicates that tele-centers have predominantly been unsuccessful in reaching the intended demographic of the most impoverished individuals. The present study employed a survey methodology to gather data from a sample of 150 participants situated across 6 distinct Union Digital Centers (UDCs) of Mymensingh District. The results of the study suggest a favorable outcome with regards to the accessibility, affordability, convenience, and provision of services. However, it is imperative to enhance the implementation of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in order to achieve the desired outcomes in the field of e-governance.

Abstract

Despite policy commitments to inclusive education, significant barriers hinder its true realization in Bangladesh, particularly at the primary level. This research utilizes secondary data analysis to comprehensively identify and examine these challenges, drawing insights from official reports, academic literature, and stakeholder interviews. The study investigates four primary domains: policy and infrastructure, teacher preparedness and practices, attitudes and awareness, and accessibility and support mechanisms. Findings reveal systemic limitations in infrastructure and resource allocation, inadequate teacher training in inclusive pedagogies, persisting negative attitudes towards diverse learners, and insufficient support services for children with disabilities and marginalized backgrounds. Drawing on these insights, the paper proposes multi-pronged recommendations across each domain, advocating for: 1) strengthened policy frameworks and resource allocation, 2) comprehensive teacher training in inclusive practices and differentiated instruction, 3) community-based awareness campaigns on inclusion and diversity, and 4) improved accessibility measures in schools and learning materials. The research emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts at national, local, and school levels to dismantle identified barriers and create a truly inclusive primary education system in Bangladesh, ensuring equitable access and quality learning for all children.
