Primary Education on Floating Boats in Haor Areas; a Critical Analysis from Bangladesh Perspective

Abstract

Floating school boats are one of the main means of getting primary education for the children of the Haor region in Bangladesh. However, the fundamental promise of a floating school boat is to provide free and accessible primary education to these severely flooded areas of Bangladesh. The purpose of this article is to find out the problems which are faced by the children of the waterlogged region of Bangladesh to get their elementary education. This study also explores that the contributions and initiates of one NGO are not enough to provide primary education for the children of this area. One the other hand, no significant initiative has been taken by the government of Bangladesh to educate them. So, the government of Bangladesh should take some reasonable steps to educate the children of this haor region. Currently, the Floating school boat education is a blessing for the children of these haor areas. This education system needs further improvement and progress by increasing the amount of floating school boats and drawing government attention as well as the proper distribution of the national budget.
