| description |
In recent years, private sector
engagement in education, which includes a vibrant mix of
non-profit, for-profit and faith-based organizations, has
grown significantly around the world. In the last two
decades, the percentage of students in low-income countries
attending private primary schools doubled, from 11 percent
to 22 percent. This growth in private provision is closely
connected to the boom in access that has taken place in
low-income countries over the same two decades: primary net
enrolment increased from 55 percent to 80 percent between
1990 and 2010. SABER-EPS research in Bangladesh has found
that access to primary education is nearly universal and
that retention rates of students to the last grade of
primary school have increased significantly. However, in
2012, only 48 percent of children enrolled in secondary
school. At both the primary and secondary levels, quality
and equity are challenges. The private sector plays a
significant role in education at both levels. At the primary
level, the range of school options is broad, with 24
different types of institutions. The private sector accounts
for nearly a quarter of enrolments at this level. The rest
of the report provides an overview of SABEREPS, followed by
a description of the basic education system in Bangladesh
with a focus on the private sector and government policies
related to the private provision of education. The report
then benchmarks Bangladesh’s policy environment utilizing
the SABER-EPS Framework and offers policy options to enhance
access and learning for all children in primary and
secondary school. This report presents an analysis of how
effectively the current policies in Bangladesh engage the
private sectorin basic (primary and secondary) education. |
