| Summary: | Based on data from a nationally representative sample survey of children aged 6-15, the
author concludes that the enrollment rate has been
declining since 1995 particularly among the boys in the
rural areas of Bangladesh. Most children begin their
school at age 8. Regional variation in enrollment is very
wide. Dropout rate has remained high particularly at
the lower grades. ~early half of the students are
enrolled in non-government institutions. The
enrollment can be raised further if the education
program provides special emphasis on younger children,
low-enrolled communities and the children of illiterate
parents. |
