Contents Foreword 1 Introduction 2 Education in Bangladesh 3 VAB efforts to improve education in rural Bangladesh 4 High school Dropout problems in Bangladesh 5 Purpose of the present study investigating effects of VAB programmes on Dropout rate 6 Methodology and data collection 7 Analysis of data 8 Findings and observations 9 Recommendations Annexures Index This study of ten high schools in rural Bangladesh assisted by a US based NGO Volunteers Association for Bangladesh VAB presents detailed data on the dropout rate in each class from VI to X over a period of six years The study follows students at Class VI through class X for two academic cycles ending in 2007 and 2008 to estimate dropout rate over the cycle Importantly the study also tries to identify the reasons for dropout through a survey of direct sources students teachers parents and community leaders and provides an integrated analysis from these perspectives Research reveals a trend of dropout starting at a slower pace of about 9 10 percent at Class VI rising slowly to Class IX and ending with a bang of around 60 to 70 percent at Class X Easy promotion from Class VI onwards and the ultimate realization of the students that they are unable to cope with the demands of taking the test exam at Class X or the nationwide SSC Exam and in many cases the inability to afford the exam fees may explain the reasons for this sudden rise in dropout at Class X The study confirms the prevailing views about the main reasons for dropout as being poverty and poverty related factors There is unanimity in this regard among all the direct sources surveyed There is also unanimity about higher dropout among girl students in rural Bangladesh confirming prevailing views about early marriage of girls household role of girls in life and lack of recognition for the need for their education The study reveals potential for reducing dropouts with coordinated efforts while dealing with the causes In this regard interventions such as VABs Scholarship and other programmes operating in Bangladesh since year 2000 with the aim of improving attendance at school of rural poor students It is believed to have contributed to the reduction of dropouts by at least ten percent in two academic cycles It is encouraging to note that the longer the school benefits from VAB scholarships and other complementary programmes the larger is the reduction in dropout rate in some schools by as much as thirty percent jacket 64 pp.
