Adequate investment in human capital
development is critical for enabling Bangladesh to reach its
goal of becoming an upper middle-income country. Bangladesh,
currently a lower-middle country with an annual per capita
gross national income (GNI) of USD 1,470 (WDI 2019), aims to
attain upper-middle income status by 2021 and eliminate
poverty by 2030. Recognizing the importance of investing in
education for building its human capital base, the
government of Bangladesh (GoB) has been allocating a large
portion of the national budget to the education sector each
year during the past two decades. Effective utilization and
equitable distribution of allocated public spending is
important for ensuring adequate progress in education
outcomes. This report analyzes major spending and outcomes
trends in the overall education sector in recent years, with
a focus on primary and secondary education. Responding to
the recommendation of the 2015 Bangladesh Public Expenditure
Review Update for more analytical work on public spending in
different sectors, including education, the current study
analyzes the trends in major education expenditures, access
to education, quality of education, and disparities in
education outcomes in the past two decades. It also looks at
the composition of education expenditure, consistency
between budget allocations and actual expenditures, equity
in education spending, and potential links between spending
and key educational outcomes. Because of data limitations,
this report focuses mainly on primary and secondary
education. It is expected that this analysis will add to the
literature on investments in the Bangladesh education sector
and inform discussions on identifying policy priorities and
making resource allocation decisions in the sector. |
