Bangladesh Closed Schools for 18 Months—and Now Children Aren't Returning to the Classroom

of up to 3,500 taka each year from the government in an attempt to counter the threat of child marriage and incentivize their families to keep them in school. “But for families with sons, education presents a significant cost,” says Safi Khan, director of education for BRAC. “It’s an impossible situation, and there is very little support.”of economic crisis is when adolescent boys begin dropping out of school, says Tuomo Poutiainen, Bangladesh director for the International Labour Organization.

For many parents, the costs of their children’s education have collided with mounting debts, leaving them with few options but to pull their sons from their classrooms. “I felt terrible,” says Helena, whose 11-year-old, Alomgir, threw his exercise books in the trash when she told him he couldn’t return to school in September.

Helena has already had to reconcile herself with depriving one son of an education: five years ago, her husband fell sick, and the family had to send Alomgir’s then 11-year-old brother to work at a brick kiln, where he earns 300 taka a day. “We thought that we could ensure the rest of our sons were educated by sacrificing the eldest one,” Helena says.

This is so sad.

maestro_rayo According to certain mathematical models, these children are heroes. They saved and will continue to save many lives by being absent from school 🙂 (Sarcasm) 😑

Collateral damage

This is one of the heartbreaking effects of the Pandemic, children were not able to exercise their right to education and even after lockdowns, most children remain out of school. Th government must do better to ensure that children can safely return to schools.

Poor children, they have to do all of this

so give him time

Quite sad - I hope education finds a way to these children.

Don't care.

Or it has been formed. Amen

Time should understand and recognize that one of the members of a society like Bangladesh is the United States. Thank you, Armen
