Abstract

Gender is a sensitive issue in the traditional societal setup of Bangladesh. People hesitate to discuss gender even in the 21st century. The problem of gender inequality has been widespread in Bangladesh since the ancient and medieval periods. Moreover, this problem is more acute in rural parts of the country, where people have less privilege and live in a more conservative society. This qualitative study explored rural communities' social, cultural, and economic structure to determine the social factors of gender inequality in rural Bangladesh. To do that, this study used a qualitative research approach. Employing semi-structured in-depth interviews and critically analyzing secondary data, the research scrutinized the perspectives of male and female village residents across diverse roles, such as students, employees, farmers, homemakers, and entrepreneurs. The findings highlighted several social factors causing gender disparity, including the inescapable influence of patriarchal structures, gender stereotypes, preference for male offspring, child marriage, the notion of girls as liabilities, a lack of awareness, socioeconomic barriers, and a lack of explicit policy. With nearly 60.29% of the total population residing in remote areas where gender gaps persist, this research sheds light on the urgent need for intervention. Moreover, this study provided significant recommendations after critically examining the findings. Finally, the study underlined the imperative for governmental and decision-making bodies to prioritize these findings, advocating for the introduction of comprehensive gender awareness initiatives within rural communities to combat deep-rooted inequalities and pave the way toward a more equitable society.

Abstract

The Bangladesh Army has long contributed to the country’s education sector setting an important example in nation-building. The study aims to assess the contributions, opportunities, and limitations of Army-administered Educational Institutions (AAEIs) and explore their potential role in Madrasah, technical and vocational education, areas where structured governance remains an ongoing national concern. It addresses a key gap in existing literature by examining the research problem.  The study employed a qualitative approach, and the views of administrators, teachers, students, and parents were collected through 70 in-depth interviews (IDI) and four focus group discussions (FGD) using purposive and convenience sampling. Data were analysed through thematic procedures involving coding and category development. Findings indicates that AAEIs have gained widespread trust among parents and students due to their emphasis on discipline, security, efficient management, and moral education while some challenges include higher tuition fees compared to government schools and colleges, difficult to access in cantonment areas, frequent changes of principals, and non-standard student-teacher ratio etc. The study identifies recurring themes related to institutional capabilities, public trust, operational limitations, and future expansion of the Army’s role in diversified education streams. The study recommends that curriculum development, teacher training and technology integration are found necessary to achieve international standards and as a pilot project, the Army may bring about qualitative changes in Madrasah and technical education through efficient administration. At the same time, the research points out the way to transform AAEIs into a sustainable and inclusive education model. The study’s insights carry implications for educational policy and contribute to global discussions on the educational roles of military institutions.
