Introduction:
Education paves the way
for developing a nation. It is the key to a nation’s development. Education is
the principal means to achieve the goal of poverty alleviation. A properly
educated nation, which is modern in generous and intellect and forward looking
in thinking, can only put the country at the zenith of its development. That’s
why education is the backbone of nations. In Bangladesh, the key to achieving
high rates of economic growth and at the same time ensuring that the fruits of
economic growth are equitably shared by her population lies in development and
utilization of her human resources. Education has been recognized as a priority
sector by all governments since her independence.
Objectives
of this study:

Policy-2000 and Education Policy Policy-2010
Ø To

namely, Education Policy-2000 and Education Policy Policy-2010

Significance of
this study:
Education
is the backbone of a nation. A properly educated nation can accelerate the path
to the development. Without a proper and
efficient Education Policy, a country can never achieve total development. The
Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh constituted the Education
Policy-2010. It already achieved huge appreciations from all sections of the
people. The new Education Policy2010 is being implemented at present time and
with then course of time, it will be implemented gradually and Bangladesh will
get her long waited educated nation. So, hopefully, we can say that the
Education Policy-2010 will play a significant to development of Bangladesh
Methodology of this
study:

information relating to my assigned topic from both primary and secondary
sources of information. Qualitative and Quantitative method are the key method
in this study. I have also collected data and information from the Daily News
Paper and different Report prepared by Center for Policy Dialogue (CPD) as well
as the Website of the ministry of Education.
The education
sector of Bangladesh: A review

Bangladesh is characterized by co-existence of three separate streams. The
mainstream happens to be a vernacular based secular education system carried
over from the colonial past. There also exists a separate religious system of
education. Finally, based on use of English as the medium of instruction,
another stream of education.
