Abstract

Education acts as a critical indicator of prosperity, progress, and success in every society. There are cases; however, when the main goal of education is not achieved due to discrimination. The aim of this paper is to address these cases, specifically in Bangladesh. The findings of this research being the determination of the main causes for the disparity between urban and rural primary schools, the challenges, development and success of education, and the changes over time. Equal primary education is a significant necessity to any citizen of a country. The affiliation between poverty and education is spherical; the lack of equality in primary education forces poor families to engage in less productive pursuits, which results in more misery. Nevertheless, discrimination between the poor and the rich leads to a low investment in education. A study by Ahmed (2005) noted that this project has achieved a 14% improvement in admission. Secondly, the government is attempting to fight against corruption. The number of cases related to stealing funds budgeted for the poor has decreased significantly. Additionally, the NGOs, along with the GOs, have played a significant role in ensuring the enrolment of the girl children in schools. They have empowered women to end the mentality that females are born solely to run a household. These actions and strategy will be discussed in this paper.
