Abstract

COVID-19 brought a massive shift to the teaching and learning practices in higher education in Bangladesh. Although many universities in Bangladesh have started hybrid education, including both online and offline education styles, many students still need help with this hybrid process. The study aimed to evaluate the modifications made to teaching and learning strategies due to COVID-19 and to find the prospect of a shift towards Hybrid course delivery in higher education in Bangladesh. The study followed a quantitative method where the data collection was done through a close ended questionnaire using multistage sampling consisting of both stratified and simple random sampling. Students from 20 universities, whether public or private participated in this study. The study stratified the data with 20 responses per university and analysed 400 responses. The data was analysed using SPSS software for descriptive statistics, cross tabulation and chi square test. By conducting the Chi-square test (p> 0.05), the overall results of the study revealed that the universities conducting online classes, exams during the pandemic or not have no significant impact on the students preferring a hybrid course delivery. This is because the wave of digitalization has spread and made students accustomed to online education, courses and teaching platforms making them believe that Hybrid course delivery is a unique opportunity to combine the best aspects of both in-person and online learning, address the limitations of traditional classroom models, is cost effective and more flexible. The findings of this study will assist addressing the existing research vacuum in this field and help policymakers, administrators, educators, academicians, University Grant Commission (UGC) authorities, related ministries, and university authorities to rethink the process of Higher Education in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Rural-urban migration is one of the most familiar terms in the present world, especially in developing countries. The people of Bangladesh have a strong tendency to migrate towards the megacities. The migrants are required to cope with many uncertainties, risks, and challenges. This paper is aimed to find out the impact of RUM especially on the life standards of the migrants. Here qualitative approach has been followed, and the Baganbari slum of Mirpur region has been selected as the representative of the slums of Bangladesh. Demographic characteristics of the respondents were presented here in order to categorize the migrants. Based on survey questionnaires, 20 household heads of the slum were part of the survey. Three key informant interviews, five FGDs, and two case studies were also used to collect data. During FGD and KII, the respondents were asked about their monthly income, hometown, religion, age, monthly income, and others. Also, the respondents mentioned about some causes of their migration. The study shows the brutalities of slum life and reflects the limitations of slum life as well. According to the findings of the study, the government should take a special look at the proper education and skill development facilities of the slum children.

Abstract

The Universal Pension Scheme (UPS) is a fairly new policy by the Bangladesh government, inaugurated on 17th August 2023, aiming at giving the nation's aging population a monthly stipend and placing them under a well-organized social safety net program. This study aimed to find out the perception of the people regarding the UPS and the challenges that beset with this perception. The study uses a quantitative method to collect data from 404 participants through a close ended questionnaire following simple random sampling. The SPSS software was used to analyze the data for chi-square testing, cross tabulation, and descriptive statistics. By conducting the Chi-square test (p0.05), the overall results of the study revealed that the general people are not much willing to participate in the Universal Pension Scheme despite knowing about it. Though many still do not properly understand the different schemes of the UPS and prefer the traditional and familiar banking procedure for saving money, many mainly refrain from agreeing to participate on it because of the risk of inflation and regime change. Thus, most people prefer investing in a business to make profit and be free from these risks that are associated with UPS.
