Education in Bangladesh is mainly funded by the state. Government allocations to the education sector from revenue and development budgets primarily finance educational expenses. Given the low revenue / GDP, the government, however, is highly dependent on external sources to finance its development budget. Foreign aid finances more than 50 percent of government development expenditure in education.
The total costs of public primary schools are borne by the government. Also, the government pays 90 percent of teacher salaries based NGO, registered primary schools. In addition, private schools also receive government grants for the repair of school building. The Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) finds the school to receive donations and disburses the money. Students in government and non-government registered schools will receive free textbooks.
Virtually all expenses public high schools are paid by the government that students only pay a nominal fee. Non-government secondary schools also receive substantial support from the government. The government pays 90 percent of the basic salaries, rent and medical benefits to teachers appointed to positions of all non-governmental sanctioned schools. The government also provides grants for construction and occasional maintenance, training of teachers in training institutes and stipend to female students of classes VI to X of schools located in non-municipal areas. Student fees and income from other sources to meet the needs of remaining resources.
Although the government has virtually all the costs of public elementary and secondary schools, and also provides free textbooks to primary school students, there are still other costs such as uniforms, school supplies, transportation, etc. Those still have to be borne by the parents. Moreover, in a country like Bangladesh, where nearly half the population lives below the poverty line, the opportunity cost of education in terms of lost revenue that could be derived from child labor is not negligible. So the government had to intervene with programs such as food for education, the Major Project Stipend and stipends for high school students.
Public universities, which charge nominal fees for enrollment of students, are almost entirely funded by the state .. Private universities rather not receive government funding, and implementing their academic programs charge high tuition rates for students. Table 1 shows the level of central government expenditure on education, while Table 2 shows the distribution of income and development expenditure on education per sub.
