Abstract

In the digitized phase of Bangladesh, the government-to-person (G2P) approach represents an innovative shift in public service delivery. This model transforms the traditional "one to many" service approach into a "one to one" interaction, where the government directly engages with individual beneficiaries. This direct connection enhances transparency, accountability, and efficiency in service provision. The G2P approach is implemented across various projects in Bangladesh. This study aims to explore how G2P influences public service delivery perceptions and assess its impacts. A mixed-methods design was employed, and samples were selected from government officials and beneficiaries, totaling 120 participants. Data collection was accomplished through key informant interviews and surveys. The analysis utilized the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) alongside detailed qualitative assessments. Discussions drawn from the analysis indicate notable impacts of G2P on public service delivery. Ultimately, it is suggested that the government and policymakers focus on expanding the scope of G2P services to ensure a structured, transparent, and efficient delivery of public services. While there are challenges to address, overcoming these barriers could facilitate a transformative phase in Bangladesh's governance system.

Abstract

School absenteeism remains a persistent challenge in the education sector. This study explores the relationship between the feels-like temperature and school absenteeism in the selected schools in Trishal Upazila of Mymensingh district. Following a mixed-method design, it considers only perceived temperature variables for absenteeism and incorporates quantitative data from publicly available temperature records and daily school attendance data from school registers. Additionally, it draws insights from the qualitative inputs from teachers and education officers. Spearmen's correlation and regression analysis revealed no statistically significant relationship between feels-like temperature and school absenteeism. The Man-Whitney U test, following the summer and winter groups of months, showed that the students from secondary school are likely to be more absent during the hotter days. However, the regression coefficient tables for both schools revealed that the students from secondary schools have a tendency tobe absent more often, even when all other factors are constant. Thematic analysis from qualitative findings focused on other prominent factors, such as parental supervision, socioeconomic conditions, and administrative practices for scholarship eligibility for absenteeism. School absenteeism is less influenced by temperature factors and more influenced by structural and behavioral patterns. This study recommends targeted interventions addressing socioeconomic conditions, data manipulation, and age-specific motives. Future studies should consider a wider array of geographic coverage, focusing on climate-adverse locations and broader climatic variables.
