World Bank ADULT LITERACY EDUCATION EDUCATION FOR ALL EFA GENDER PARITY GOVERNMENT FINANCING LEARNING ASSESSMENT MONITORING LEARNING QUALITY OF EDUCATION UNIVERSAL PRIMARY COMPLETION UNIVERSAL PRIMARY ENROLLMENT The objectives of this policy note are twofold: first, take stock of where Bangladesh stands in terms of achieving the Education For All (EFA) goals; and second, suggest policy recommendations that could help Bangladesh to meet the EFA goals by 2015. The policy note will focus mainly on: 1) universal primary enrollment for all children; 2) universal primary completion; 3) gender parity in education; 4) adult literacy; and 5) quality of education. This is because these areas can be more meaningfully analyzed with reasonably reliable information from various sources. Bangladesh is unlikely to achieve universal primary enrollment and completion by 2015 if the current trends in access and completion do not improve. Progress in school quality is more difficult to assess because of the lack of systematic assessment and monitoring of learning achievement results. The government continues to be the main provider and financer of primary education. Improving the overall quality of schooling is a pressing task in order to substantially raise enrollment and help more children complete primary school with the appropriate skills in literacy and numeracy. Bangladesh has made progress towards increasing both primary and secondary enrollment and has already reached gender parity in both education levels. 2012-06-14T18:49:22Z 2012-06-14T18:49:22Z 2007-08 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2007/08/16234214/education-all-bangladesh-bangladesh-stand-terms-achieving-efa-goals-2015 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/8064 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Education Sector Review Economic & Sector Work South Asia Bangladesh |

The objectives of this policy note are
twofold: first, take stock of where Bangladesh stands in
terms of achieving the Education For All (EFA) goals; and
second, suggest policy recommendations that could help
Bangladesh to meet the EFA goals by 2015. The policy note
will focus mainly on: 1) universal primary enrollment for
all children; 2) universal primary completion; 3) gender
parity in education; 4) adult literacy; and 5) quality of
education. This is because these areas can be more
meaningfully analyzed with reasonably reliable information
from various sources. Bangladesh is unlikely to achieve
universal primary enrollment and completion by 2015 if the
current trends in access and completion do not improve.
Progress in school quality is more difficult to assess
because of the lack of systematic assessment and monitoring
of learning achievement results. The government continues to
be the main provider and financer of primary education.
Improving the overall quality of schooling is a pressing
task in order to substantially raise enrollment and help
more children complete primary school with the appropriate
skills in literacy and numeracy. Bangladesh has made
progress towards increasing both primary and secondary
enrollment and has already reached gender parity in both
education levels. |
