Nurul; Chowdhury, Fazlul Karim; Mahbub, Amina; Chowdhury, A.M.RBangladesh has made progress in various arena of socio-economic development since its Independence in 1971. Such progress has been possible due to continuous and . collective effort of common people, the government and the development partners. However, sadly, after four decades of Independence, a high rate of poverty with huge income and wealth inequalities are the realities. Education is a key to address the challenges of development. The country has improved much in various aspects of educational attainment. Major improvement has occurred during the past two decades. An unfortunate feature of educational development in the country, however, is the inequity. Inequities exist in terms of school type, streams of education, geographical locations and socioeconomic status. Coexistence of development and inequity does not match with the spirit of our Constitution or the new Education Policy 2010. Elimination of inequity from education in Bangladesh is urgently needed. In-depth studies are required to understand the nature of such inequities, fonnulate policies for an equitable educational provision and proper implementation of such policies.Geographically, Sylhet division is a low performing region. This study explored the reasons behind the slow progress of Sylhet division in school education. This can be considered as a case study on Sylhet division in the broader context of regional deprivation in education.Item Health progress and research culture in Bangladesh(The Lancet, 2013) Datta, Pran Gopal; Bhuiya, Abbas; Chowdhury, A.M.RItem Healthcare in Thailand a story to inspire confidence(The Nation, 2016) Chowdhury, A.M.R; Children--Mortality--Thailand.Item Informal sector providers in Bangladesh how equipped are they to provide rational health care(Health Policy and Planning, 2009) Ahmed, Syed Masud; Hossain, Md.

Evaluations of such programmes have traditionally looked at their success in increasing the income levels of participants, but less at the wider goals of human well-being. This paper l(x)ks at the poverty alleviation program of BRAC. a large non-governmental organization in Bangladesh. and, based on carefully designed studies, presents its impact on selected components of 'human well-being'. This study found better child survival and nutritional status in households served by the programme. Simulated impacts were also observed in other areas, such as expenditure patterns. family planning practices and children's education. The studies also looked at the impact on the rural power structure and found a substantial change in the networking relationship of health providers. The likely influence of 'selectivity bias' on the above results is abo discussed.
