Bangladesh has a large educational system consisting of some 150,000
institutions, 34 million students and over 900,000 teachers. There are
about 20 million students in primary education (including madrasas and
non-formal programs) and 11 million at the secondary level (including
madrasas). At university level, there are 31 public and 54 private
universities. The nation has achieved an enviable near-100% enrollment
in primary education, but, at the same time, the dropout rate is an
alarming 50% by the end of the 5-year primary cycle. It has been
observed that a little over 1% of the students who complete primary
schooling acquire the standard competencies. 25% of the primary
graduates drop out at the initial stage of
enrollment in secondary education.

Digital Bangladesh and ICT Policy 2009
![Page 12: Ict policy in education and research presented by titas sarker](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547bb5c1b4af9fb4158b4f53/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Almost 40 years ago, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman,
the father of the nation, dreamt of a ‘SonarBangla’ where the
common citizen of the country lives in prosperity and has
equitable access to quality education, healthcare, law and
justice ensured by the government. The current government
has resurrected that vision and made it ready for the 21st
century highly globalized world and names it Digital
Bangladesh. Although Bangladesh has its own limitations in
resources, capacity and knowledge, the country’s potential in
human resources can be tapped through appropriate use of ICT
tools. The government is committed towards reaching the goal
of a knowledge based and middle income country by 2021, with
an actionable ICT Policy 2009.
