Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 5

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to discern the identical issues that work behind high enrollment in primary schools followed by uncontrolled dropouts in Bangladesh like many other countries in South Asia. The study also probes to identify some possible interventions that may play a vital role in reducing educational exclusion. It is believed that comparative education with its rapidly increasing resources and its hope for better methods seem admirably suited to provide a more rational basis for the planning of education (Jones, 1971). The research data primarily depends on various reports published by the govt. offices and ministries that demonstrate educational situation in current period. Besides, many educators and specialists in the related field are interviewed to get a clearer insight into the matter. The data establishes that not the economic background only, rather, enrollment age, parents‟ education, location, school mechanisms and many other factors are liable for the misfit of many prospective students in the institutions. It is also clear that dropouts transpire in a specific pattern in different grades of school hierarchy. Similar data from other countries of South Asia like India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka is presented to show whether Bangladesh is the worst sufferer of this mishap. Govt. appraisals adopted by these countries are screened in this study to test any positive contribution to come out of this hiccup.
