Illiteracy is a curse. It is the root cause of ignorance which frustrates all development work of the country. Our government has laucnhed a campaign to remove illiteracy. It aims at eradicating illiteracy from the country within the next few years. It is said that education is the backbone of nation. In this regard, the primary education is the founding phase where the citizens would grow with a certain vision, quality and competence. Thus, if the primary education system of a country is not well organized, viable and development orientated, the future development of the nation must be constrained by numerous problems and obstacles. The present state of primary education in Bangladesh is riddled with a lot of problems and short comings. It is a matter of hope that our government has already made primary education compulsory.
