What's new

Bangladesh is making a serious attempt to improve its schools

The model is the same in Switzerland too, or let's say in most European welfare state. Its an excellent method to ensure low unemployment, more societal engagement and lower crime. An apprentice directly out of high school who trained in a special field for 3 years will find employment soon and make at the bare minimum 3.5k CHF (~ 3 lakhs taka).

However, the problem that would surface in Bangladesh is that the income would not be enough to survive in an increasing inflationary state + no guarantee of jobs. Even now, people with proper jobs considered to be middle class have difficulties in making ends meet. Let alone the ones who are in vocational studies.

The government needs to ensure jobs for these people and provide enough to sustain themselves. That is the only downside and probably the biggest issue. Other than that, its a good plan.
A country's trained youth do not immediately get 3 lakh per month before they themselves heavily contribute to the physical and social development of their country.

The people in the European countries have been working hard, learning all kinds of knowledge, science, and technology for more than 300 years. They developed science, technology, math (calculus by Newton) throughout these centuries.

What they receive as wages and related facilities and amenities today are the cumulative results of their long perseverance for 300 years or more.

In comparison, BD is a completely backward country even with so large development aids from all quarters.

So, when BD people get rid of superstitions, learn how to build the physical infrastructure, build virtually millions of industries, and import mostly the capital/ technology goods, a time will certainly come when BD people would be earning 3 Lakh Taka per month.

Money does not come out of printing machines. It comes out of the values that a country's people collectively produce. This wealth is distributed among the populace. So, more value-added production means more wages and salaries to the population.

This is why when developed countries' people get 3 Lakh each, we do not get even 30 thousand. It means they produce more than ten times per head.

The 3 lakh is an example figure so readers can understand the context in terms of taka. It is not the central point to what I wrote. A 30k salary in Bangladesh can just suffice for many people. Similarly, 3.5k CHF here isnt really much given Suisee is the most expensive nation on earth but people get by. Totally context-based.

The idea was more about availability of jobs for people who have vocational or training degrees. They might end up earning 10k taka but that is not enough in Bangladesh's context. The government needs to account for this issue before they revamp the education system. They need to make more provisions and support so that people can be enticed into this education.

How should the government achieve that? I don't really know. But its just something I wanted to point out.

Whatever may the GoB plan to revamp education it will not materialize unless wealth is created on the factory floors because introducing quality education needs money which cannot be produced unless the country produces value-added goods in the factories.

People get more employment and the govt gets more income and corporate taxes that can be used to improve the education curriculum.

I do not see any industrial activities that may help produce tangible results in all sectors including education sector.

You need a strong socialist leadership and mentality but most importantly, increasing the tax base and using said taxes to improve public state capacity to provide services such as infrastructure, welfare, education etc.

You get money by increasing taxes and using the tax money to invest into improving education, infrastructure etc.

People of all the classes suffer in an underdeveloped country where job opportunities are far and few. In the case of BD, it happens because not many industries have been built. Build GRADUALLY millions of workshops, mills and factories by the private companies, job opportunities will keep on increasing.

There is no special magic to earn more money. When a man uses his tools and knowledge to produce goods, his productivity rises and automatically, his salary rises.

This happened to all the developed countries of the world in the past who developed industries, produced more value-added goods and their workers started to earn more money.

BD is just not following this. It is borrowing foreign money and asking foreign companies to build a few civil engineering projects.

The time to build industries is now passing away. In a few years, the country will pay back more money to the international loan sharks than it will borrow. Now, it still has the money in London, but it will be different only after a few years. There will be no surplus money left after loan payments.

Only when a relatively high proportion of the population has received more than primary education, the benefits from the increase in the proportion of the working-age population will be widespread.

Sheikh Hasina is undoubtedly the best national leader in the world. Make detailed plans for national development and will not provoke ethnic conflicts for the sake of individual votes.
