| Summary: | A nation's utilization and creation
of knowledge endeavors are globally acknowledged as the
driving forces for economic development and competitiveness.
Public and private investments in institutions of higher
education and research require strengthening in tandem with
the development of a regulatory environment that supports
national and institutional growth. In recognition of these
issues, the Government of Bangladesh's first Higher
Education Strategic Plan (2006-2026) proposed a long-term
development plan for the higher education sector,
recommending that the plan will need to be cognizant of both
universities and the Bangladesh National
University-affiliated colleges where the majority of
post-secondary graduates are enrolled. This study addresses
challenges faced by a major part of the higher education
sector in Bangladesh - the colleges. The objectives of the
study are to: a) review and analyze the college education
system of Bangladesh and b) identify policy options which
will guide the government as it prepares a long-term
strategy to improve the quality and relevance of higher
education. This report is divided into the four key areas
ripe for reform: a) access and equity, b) quality and
relevance, c) financing, and d) governance. |
