RE: Bangladesh's Education System is Under Threat.

in GEMS4 years ago

My impression of Bangladesh is that most problems of underdevelopment are result of an issue called "Brain Drain" due to the past Pakistani persecution against intellectuals in the country, leaving only (most)people with lower education alone. The result was a lack of educators and "smart" professionals among Bangladeshis, causing great dependency on foreign intellectuals while leaving the country severely uneducated.

Since the lack of "smart people" in a country cause it to be poorly administrated in both governmental and in the private sector, those fortunate enough to get good education there tend to leave the country to build their lives as immigrant in foreign lands, making the country of origin lose their valuable educated citizens so necessary to fix the problem that caused them to leave the country in the first place. Another aspect of the "Brain Drain" issue.

Recent news show education there is improving and I hope it continues to do so. The whole world can benefit by having another nation to contribute to the human knowledge build up.

As I said, those are my opinions. It was not my intention to offend anyone that might feel disrespected.

Hi dear,
In fact your opinion is true. But there are some deserving people in Bangladesh and some educated people. Those who want can take the country forward. But some incompetent, incompetent people stand in front of them. They will not do good themselves, and they will not let anyone else do good. This is the main characteristic of the people of Bangladesh. That is why it is not possible for any good person to take this country forward. However, there are some good people in Bangladesh but they are afraid to come forward. Thank you for your valuable feedback. Thanks.

"But there are some deserving people in Bangladesh and some educated people."

But the country needs more and that they don't leave the country to find a better life elsewhere. Months ago I watched a lecture where Bangladesh was cited as an example of the long term effects of "Brain Drain"(when a percentage too high of educated people either die or leave the country compared to general population) due to it's independence war against Pakistan. In Bangladesh's case it happened to be the 1971 Massacre of Intellectuals that caused the country to sink deep in decades of a vicious cycle of "uneducation" preventing life quality improvement which drove out of the country most educated people wanting to have a better live due to lack of opportunities caused again, by the previously mentioned "uneducation". It is a mechanism that once was started by the 1971 genocide, it was a very hard endeavor to stop.

Fortunately the situation there seems to be improving(too slow, but is better than nothing) but what happened must not be forgotten are there are currently other countries engaged in anti-education mentalities, causing its smartest citizens to flee, facilitating the power grab from their not-so-democratic rulers.

Never forget why education matters.

"However, there are some good people in Bangladesh but they are afraid to come forward."

This there can be applied to any people that gets bullied into submission by those with power and influence. My country has similar problem.

Thanks for your good opinions.
