Bangladesh possesses importance in many aspects, particularly in the area of primary education, that convey the strength to the way forward. Having the development in economy and infrastructure or getting the significance in Geo-Political reality in the contemporary world, education stands in the background of all sorts of development and provides the intellectual resources.

Education evolves as a movement
On the way to becoming a developed nation, the civil society comprising members from diversified corners started to be organised and started to raise their voices. The intellectuals and aware section of society are showing their interest in spreading out the notion of education as it proliferates to other goals of SDG.

Existing as such a turning point, the citizens’ platform organised research on the development issues of primary education under the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) initiative.

Intending to grasp root-level information, CPD conducted research in three upazillas of three districts in northern areas of Bangladesh. The upazillas were selected purposefully in poor areas. Ten primary schools were taken in reckoning from each upazila, and detailed information was collected with the intention of having a comprehensive picture of primary education.
