When it comes to speaking English, in general, Bangladeshis are behind Indians. No matter how much fun we make out of the Indian accent, they are able to fluently express themselves. They do find themselves in advantageous positions in the West because of that. I see it here quite often. One has to give credit to the Indians for that.
Exceptions do exist in small pockets though, I must add. Some renowned English medium schools in Dhaka, Chittagong, and Sylhet. And some renowned Bangla medium schools in Dhaka and the students from Cadet colleges. That is primarily because of extracurricular activities and the culture of allowing students to speak in English.
The English curriculum is abysmal in Bangla medium schools, the quality of English teachers is even worse.
Things don't look too bright for all the English medium schools either, despite following the British Curriculum. So many English medium schools popped up like mushrooms in the last two decades, a lot of them are outright garbage. Kids tend to think speaking ghetto rapstar English will take them places. Needless to say O-levels English is the single most dreaded subject for kids. Perhaps more so than Pure Maths!
Why not all 3? It helps to know as many languages as one can. And it's very much doable.
But English should definitely be given priority.
