[edit] Work in progress

Consider this article as work in progress, please. There is a lot to do here:

  • The leader is complete crap. Lots of POV, no summary of the total education scene, very bad writing, no citation... Complete rework underway.
  • The history section is nothing but a commentary of POV, and it reads like a load of original research.
  • The current situation again has little description of the current situation, and a lot of POV, mostly reading like a Ministry of Education press handout.
  • The sections on education system and education management are way too long, and loosely structured, leading towards a hell of wrong weightage gone into both.
  • There is little statistics and even less verifiability of whatever statistics is there.
  • No in-line citation.

Wow! That felt good, especially considering that I put the crap into the article, and I still consider it to be significant improvement from what was. Now, what I can suggest to develop this article are:

  • There is a lot of resources at bottom of the article, an interested editor may check them out, and rewrite the article with help from these resources.
  • In doing that Education in India, Education in England, and Education in the United States may be used as inspirations in developing this article.
  • At any point the current text should not be taken as inviolate, as it lies there to serve as a departure point only.

Definitely I will try to follow my own suggestions and meet my own criticism on the article as much as I can. But, I don't think my poor soul can bear the burden alone. I posted a request to many, including related Wikiprojects, but so far no one ventured to lend a hand yet (got some good suggestions, though). Please, help. Aditya Kabir 17:46, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

The education infobox should add value to this article. Please try to put this in the main page once most of the missing fields can be completed with proper reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Armanaziz (talkcontribs)

[edit] A few points

Hello, I made a few minor changes to the article. Hopefully you will agree they were beneficial or at least mostly so. I also embedded a few hidden comments/questions in the lead. I will try to do some more work here as I have time. Johntex\talk 06:16, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More images?

Should I add images of different leading educational institutions of Bangladesh in the article? I don't want to be bold and add only to generate wrath from others :) Arman Aziz 02:06, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Some pictures would be very nice. Right now this article looks quite barren. Aditya(talkcontribs) 05:33, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger Proposal

I have suggested that National Curriculum and Textbook Board be merged into this article. My reasoning is:

  • The Textbook Board article is a one-line stub and is unlikely to be expanded;
  • All the information in the Textbook Board article is already in "Education in Bangladesh"; and
  • Education in Bangladesh is not so long that there is a need to break it up into separate articles.

Having details about the textbook Board in this article also helps readers find what they are looking for about Bangladesh education in one page. I would welcome anyone else's views. Euryalus (talk) 11:17, 10 December 2007 (UTC) unlikely to ever be more than a one-line stub.

I haev expanded the article beyond the one line stub, and I believe that, given attention, it has the potential to grow way beyond that. A lot of reforms, controversies, policies and failures make for the story of the Textbook Board. Quite a saga. I'll see what I can do. Cheers. Aditya(talkcontribs) 19:49, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Looks great! I withdraw my merge suggestion. Euryalus (talk) 20:12, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
