This study explores girls' secondary school participation in rural Bangladesh. Specifically, I seek to lend insight into the factors that inhibit girls' retention through to completion of secondary school. This question is particularly relevant in light of the Female Stipend Programme (FSP), which provides financial school incentives to eligible girls. To uncover the main determinants of girls' participation, I utilize data from interviews with teachers, parents, girl students and out-of-school girls from four schools and villages in rural Bangladesh. Interviews reveal the importance of socio-economic condition and private tutoring to understanding why some girls remain in school and others do not. I use interview responses and educational data to analyse four policy options based on their impacts on access, learning achievements, school improvements, financial sustainability and stakeholders' response. I conclude by recommending that the FSP be modified to target disadvantaged girls and to provide instructional support to stipend recipients.

Two of the largest World Bank investment projects in Bangladesh are the general education project and the female secondary scholarship and assistance project. This paper evaluates the expected results of these educational projects using the household and school survey data recently collected in rural Bangladesh. Bangladesh spends only 2 percent of its GNP on education, compared to 3.2 percent in an average low-income country and 6 percent in an average high-income country. Low investment in education results in low literacy (only 35 percent), which in turn results in low productivity, low incomes, poor health, and, above all, high population growth. To counter these trends, Bangladesh has invested substantially in the education sector in recent years, with the help of the World Bank and other donor agencies. The objective of this investment has been to improve both the quality and quantity of education, especially among the female population. The general education and female secondary school assistance projects are, in particular, geared to promote better access to primary and secondary education, as well as higher school participation and educational attainment. Based on the rural household and school survey data on both supply and demand factors, this report concludes that school interventions such as more and better schools, better trained and educated teachers, more female teachers, and better water and sanitation facilities in schools promote literacy and improve school participation and school attainment rates. Independent of school-level interventions, complementary investments in village infrastructure (roads and electricity) also have beneficial effects on educational outcomes. The effects of all these interventions are more pronounced for girls than for boys. Contains 28 data tables and figures. (Author/TD)

This book explores issues related to poverty in South Asia in a two-pronged manner—by focusing on injustice created and perpetuated by the unjust nature of a social order as its source and by providing concrete suggestions about how policymakers may move to challenge these injustices. Drawing on research inputs from studies across various South Asian countries, the book redefines poverty as a process which excludes certain segments of the society from equitable participation in development opportunities as well as decision-making. It further identifies a variety of operational ideas which can be used by policymakers, political activists, and civil society advocacy groups committed to build a more just, inclusive and poverty free society in South Asia.

Why do women in most developing countries lag behind men in literacy? Why do women get less schooling than men? This anthology examines the educational decisions that deprive women of an equal education. It assembles the most up-to-date data, organized by region. Each paper links the data with other measures of economic and social development. This approach helps explain the effects different levels of education have on womens' fertility, mortality rates, life expectancy, and income. Also described are the effects of women's education on family welfare. The authors look at family size and women's labor status and earnings. They examine child and maternal health, as well as investments in children's education. Their investigation demonstrates that women with a better education enjoy greater economic growth and provide a more nurturing family life. It suggests that when a country denies women an equal education, the nation's welfare suffers. Current strategies used to improve schooling for girls and women are examined in detail. The authors suggest an ambitious agenda for educating women. It seeks to close the gender gap by the next century. Published for The World Bank by The Johns Hopkins University Press.

A large number of studies both qualitative and quantitative tried to explore barriers to women's education in developing countries. Very few studies explored the reasons for women's low participation particularly in post-secondary education. No research has been conducted exploring women's perceptions about the reasons for women's law participation in post-secondary education in Bangladesh. Using a qualitative methodology and the conceptual framework of 'open-system' theory this study explored women's own perspectives about how multifaceted social subsystems in Bangladesh function to support and to inhibit women's participation in post-secondary education. Study revealed that the barriers women encounter in perusing post-secondary education are vast and complex. Women face barriers from multi-level social systems such as family, financial, educational, socio-cultural, political, and governmental subsystems. Within these subsystems various factors exists that hamper women's post- secondary education in Bangladesh. The result showed that since the barriers are multifaceted, positive collaboration of social subsystems in Bangladesh can reduce the difficulties.

This country analytical review examines the key issues in access to and participation in primary and secondary education in Bangladesh, with a special focus on areas and dimensions of exclusion. Against a background of overall progress, particularly in closing the gender gap in primary and secondary enrollment, the research applies a conceptual framework outlining different forms of exclusion and presents two significant findings which compromise access and diminish gains made: high dropout rates at primary and secondary levels and nominal access but virtual exclusion from quality learning. Other areas surveyed in the review include interventions by public sector and non-governmental providers in primary and secondary education as well as the financing of basic education. This review of the literature concludes with suggestions for future research directions that might lead to new understanding and insights on equitable access and participation. Nine annexes are included: (1) A schematic of the education system in Bangladesh; (2) Eleven types of primary schools; (3) Comparison between BRAC [Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee] and government primary school models; (4) Achievement of BEP [BRAC Education Programme] as of November 2005; (5) Training completed for secondary school teachers of PACE programme as of November 2005; (6) ESP [Education Support Programme] accomplishments, actual and planned; (7) PLAN [Post Primary Basic and Continuing Education] Bangladesh Whole Child Development Model; (8) Total centres and beneficiaries of Save the Children USA--core programmes; and (9) Projection of child and student population. A bibliography is included. (Contains 44 tables and 15 figures.) [This review was written with the assistance of Altaf Hossain, Md. Abul Kalam, Md. Shahidul Islam and Jennifer Hove.].
