Scenario of science education in Bangladesh:
Bangladesh is a developing country. We are in backward position in
science and technology. We are habituated at theory based science
classes at primary, secondary & higher secondary level. Most of our
science teacher possesses a mentality that hands-on experiments only for
practical examination. In our science class about no science
experiments perform for delivery science content. No difference at
delivary technique of science content & history content at our class
room. So science interest decreasing day by day & it became harder.
As a result science enrollment at secondary & higher secondary
level decreasing rapidly. Statistics shows that science students at
secondary level in Bangladesh decreases 48% at last 22 years. It is a
dangerous sign at our science education.
Starting with low-cost science teaching materials:
I am working at Teachers’ Training college, Rangpur since 1997 as a
Laboratory Assistant. I had an opportunity to work as a counterpart of
JOCV member Mr. Kengy Kawata from March 2000 to March 2002. I learn many
things about hands on science experiments with low-cost materials from
our surroundings. I would like to give thanks to JICA authority. After
departure of JOCV member I am continuing practice with hands on science
experiments.
