population into assets

As a result of these and other factors,
school completion rates and academicachievement remains low. Fifty-six
percent of children never enroll in
secondary school. Additionally, gender discrimination is
deeply entrenched in families and society
at large, preventing many girls fromattending school and fulfilling their
academic potential.

It is not possible for a state to give
enrollment for the 30% (40 million)of the total population in the next
decade

At present times we have only
31 Public and 54 PrivateUniversities To meet up the
need of 30% population we willneed almost 350 Universities.

It is a matter also to be recognized
that the private sector in
Bangladesh has come forward to
invest in education and healthsectors (Private universities and
medical colleges, hospitals and
schools).

IT is a matter also to be recognized that the private sector in Bangladesh has comeforward to invest in education and health sectors (Private universities and medicalcolleges, hospitals and schools). This move needs to be strengthened to establishmore schools, medical colleges and universities all over the country, especially inthe north-western regions. It may be mentioned that there are 51 privateuniversities in Bangladesh, but none on the North-Western region. And among 30
private medical colleges only two are on the other side of the river Jamuna, one atBogra and the other at Pabna. Excepting RU and KU four/five new publicuniversities have been recently set up in that region with very limited seats. So isthe case with teachers training institutes. There is a huge backlog in trainingteachers at schools- both primary and secondary level. Currently there is acuteshortage of teachers in all stages of education.
Teachers training colleges, medical and engineering colleges and universitiesshould be set up in all UZ towns in the private sector under public-private project
fund in ADP. Lots of questions will arise when public funds are to be placed withthe private sector. The GoB has already placed EEF initially with Bangladesh Bankto ICB for some special projects in the agro and IT sector for the private sector. Thesame approach may also be followed for P-P project fund.
